Khan Has His Foot In His Mouth With Unproven Allegations On America
No one seems to be happy with current Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s attempts to politicalize a formal letter that came in from the United States. The court squashed his party’s appeal to send Khan into a trust vote situation in the coming days.
He apparently used the formal
letter to prove that the American administration was trying to play diplomacy, poisoning
and forcing people of opposition to oust him. Mr. Khan is known to have accused
US Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu of being involved in the plot to
overthrow his government.
This only went on to suggest
that Lu had warned Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington that there would be
implications if Khan survived the no-confidence vote. The US has dismissed this
claim. Sources in the diplomatic circles added that it will be difficult to
manage foreign relations in the future if the image being projected is that the
government could use diplomatic communications for political gains.
Pakistan’s latest
political crisis erupted last Sunday, when Khan sidestepped the opposition’s
initial no-confidence petition — a motion that had been weeks in the making —
and instead accused his opponents of colluding with the United States to remove
him.
