What bets Imran is playing to become PM, ‘will improve relations with America’

Islamabad/London: Imran Khan has said that he wants to improve relations with the US if he is re-elected as the prime minister of Pakistan and he no longer blames it for removing him from the post of prime minister. By saying this, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, in a way, from his earlier statement ‘U turn’ have taken. Khan had alleged that the US conspired to remove him from power by supporting the no-confidence motion of the then opposition. Khan, 70, who was voted out of power in a no-confidence motion in April this year, had so far claimed that there was a conspiracy by current Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Pakistan’s top security partner America to remove him from office. America has provided billions of dollars of military aid to Pakistan.

Khan used to claim that the opposition’s no-confidence motion was the result of a foreign conspiracy because of his independent foreign policy on Pakistan’s relations with countries such as China and Russia. Khan also claimed that money from abroad was being used to oust him from power. Khan has ‘financial Times’ said in an interview with ‘Shortcoming’ not give up and if re-elected “respectable” want relationship. Khan was recently attacked with a deadly attack in which he was injured. He told a UK newspaper about the alleged conspiracy, “As far as I am concerned, it is over…” Although both Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and the US have denied the alleged conspiracy.

Khan has been claiming that Donald Lu, the top South Asian official at the US State Department, was trying to topple his government. ‘Foreign Conspiracy’ were involved in. The newspaper quoted Khan as saying, “The Pakistan I want to lead should have good relations with everyone, especially with America.” He said, “Our relationship with America is a master-servant. But for this I blame my governments more than America.

Khan, the president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, was shot in the right leg earlier this month when two gunmen opened fire on him while he was parked on a container truck in Wazirabad area. He was leading a march against the government at the time of the incident. Khan has accused Pakistan Prime Minister Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Major General Faisal Naseer of plotting the attack.

Khan said early elections were the only way to restore political stability. He did not outline specific plans for the economy upon his return to power, but warned that “it could be too difficult for anyone to handle the situation” if elections are not held soon. He has been accused of working with political families like the Sharif family to undermine.

“The army can play a constructive role in my future plans for Pakistan. But there has to be a balance in it. There cannot be such a situation that there is an elected government which has the responsibility given by the people, but the authority is elsewhere.
