US wants an obedient puppet as PM, Imran Khan reacts to viral video of US defence analyst

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday while sharing a video clip of a US national security and defence analyst on his Twitter handle, said that the US clearly wants an obedient puppet as PM who will not allow Pakistan’s choice of neutrality in a European war.

In the video clip, analyst Grant was analysing the removal of former prime minister Imran Khan. She was asked what message she would send to Pakistan, a nuclear nation with a large army.

In her response, Grant stated that Pakistan must support Ukraine. They would also have to terminate all of their relationships with Russia and refrain from pursuing any future arrangements with them. Pakistan, according to Rebecca Grant, needs to keep its ties with China to a minimum.

She also stated that Pakistan must halt its anti-US tactics, which she believes were a factor in Imran Khan’s ouster from the prime ministership a few weeks ago. As a result, Pakistan must abandon its anti-American tactics and cut ties with Russia.

Imran Khan gave his reaction to the video after it went viral on social network platforms. He said that if anyone had any doubts about the US regime change conspiracy, this video should remove all doubts as to why a democratically elected PM and his government were removed.

He went on to say, “a PM who will be obedient to US demands, who will not sign agreements with Russia & who will downgrade our strategic r’ship [relationship] with China. If a PM asserts Pak’s sovereignty & an indep [independent] foreign policy he will be removed & a subservient, crooked PM like Shahbaz Sharif will be brought in.”

“After this reaffirmation of US regime change conspiracy that was evident from the cipher message sent by our Envoy in Washington conveying State Dept Lu’s threat, it is surely duty of CJP to form Commission to hold public hearings on who all were involved here in this conspiracy,” the former premier added.

Imran Khan also asked a question to Biden Administration and wrote, “By indulging in a regime change conspiracy to remove a democratically elected PM of a country of over 220 mn people to bring in a puppet PM, do you think you have lessened or increased anti-American sentiment in Pakistan?”
