Fox News analyst's remarks reaffirm 'US conspiracy' was behind my ouster as PM: Imran Khan
Khan's remarks came after US defence analyst Dr Rebecca Grant was asked in a Fox News programme what the US message to Pakistan should be
PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Monday termed the remarks of a female defence analyst a reaffirmation of US conspiracy behind his ouster as Prime Minister of Pakistan.
He claimed that US defence analyst Dr Rebecca Grant's remarks in a Fox News show removed "all doubts" regarding his allegation that he was ousted from the prime minister's office last month through a US-sponsored "foreign conspiracy" due to his pursuance of an independent foreign policy for Pakistan.
Khan's remarks came after Dr Grant was asked in a Fox News programme what the US message to Pakistan should be.
To this, she said: "Pakistan needs to support Ukraine, stop looking for deals with Russia right now, limit their involvement with China, and stop the anti-American policies that are part of the reason that Imran Khan, the prime minister, got voted out of office a couple of weeks ago.
"So, it's time to cool it on the anti-American, pro-Russia policies in Pakistan. Now is not the time."
Talking to Twitter, Imran Khan said: "If anyone had any doubts abt US regime change conspiracy this video should remove all doubts as to why a democratically elected PM & his govt were removed. Clearly the US wants an obedient puppet as PM who will not allow Pak choice of neutrality in a European war."
The former prime minister shared more tweets to justify US conspiracy after Fox News video went viral.
In another tweet, he said: "My question for the Biden Administration: 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?"
