Pakistanis paying price for ‘conspiracy to change regime’: Imran Khan

0

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Thursday that the people of Pakistan are paying a heavy price for the “conspiracy” to change power. He accused former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa of once again helping some criminals come to power.

Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, lashed out at the government saying that it has increased the government debt and inflation has become wild.

The Pakistani rupee depreciated 18.74 points against the dollar on Thursday in the interbank market. Analysts attributed this to the government’s standoff with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Pakistan’s economy is in a shaky state facing cash crunch. A few weeks ago, the forex reserves here fell to an all-time low of $2.9 billion.

Khan tweeted, “Pakistanis are paying a heavy price for plotting a regime change and the former army chief imposed some criminals on the country.”

Khan (70) was ousted from power in April through a no-confidence motion and since then relations between him and Bajwa have been strained. Khan has earlier alleged that the former army chief wanted to get him killed and impose emergency in the country.
