At a general meeting in Lahore Saturday, former Prime Minister of Pakistani and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan had played a video clip of Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaisankar and praised New Delhi’s response about buying Russian oil despite Western pressure.
They [the US] ordered India not to buy oil from Russia. India is US strategic ally. Pakistan does not share alliances like that with the US. Look at what India’s Foreign Minister said when the US asked them not to buy Russian oil, “Khan said, after that he played Jaishankar’s clip who spoke at the Bratislava Globsec 2022 forum at Slovakia in June.
When asked whether India’s decision to buy cheap Russian oil fund war in Ukraine, Jaisankar asked why only India was asked by this problem when Europe continued to import oil from Moscow.This is what you call independent countries,” said Khan.
Since he was overthrown from power in April by the Shehbaz Sharif government, Khan accused the US of carrying out a “conspiracy of regime change” to bring a “devout PM” to replace him. During a general meeting, he also said that his struggle for “real freedom” had entered the “last phase” and the next step was to hold an anti-government demonstration throughout the country.
I know America and England are better than most Pakistani people […] I know their psychology; If you ask them, they will use you, “said the former Premier. “I am not anti-American at all. I want friendship with America. But I don’t want slavery, “he added.
At a general meeting, Khan also played a video of the Minister of International Relations of South Africa and the cooperation between Neded Pandor who Monday spoke against countries that tried to bluff other countries to take parties in the midst of ongoing Russia-Ukraine.
One thing I don’t like to tell that you choose this or something else. I will definitely not be intimidated like that, “Pandor said, after hosting Foreign Minister Antony Blinken, who is currently on a tour of three African countries.According to Khan, the Sharif government did not have the courage to face US pressure.
If a country like India, said Khan, who gained independence together with Pakistan, could frame his foreign policy to suit the needs of its people, so why did Pakistani dispensation currently use the argument “Beggar Can not become a voter”?
He added that his PTI government had previously spoke to Russia about buying cheaper oil but the imported” government did not have the courage to fight the US.
The price of fuel skyrocketed and people are below the poverty line. I oppose this slavery, “he said at a general meeting.
