Independent foreign policy agitates establishment: Khan

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) founder Imran Khan has said that the entire country’s machinery is manipulating the law and the Constitution of Pakistan in an effort to keep him and his party out of the electoral procedure.

While addressing to a virtual convention, Imran Khan said this, in an audio speech similar to his voice and created through artificial intelligence. The notes were apparently dictated to the visiting party members in jail by the PTI founder himself.

Khan claimed that Pakistan was entangled in an inner dispute never seen before in the history of Pakistan. Antagonism against him came from the inception of an independent foreign policy.

He asserted that they have made ridicule of the law and demolished not just the political, but the good fabric of our society. It began when the establishment became flustered with his push for an independent foreign policy.

Imran further stated that he was certain that he would be a friend to all but would not be anyone's substitute for wars. Khan said: “I did not come to this view casually. It was shaped by the huge losses that Pakistan had suffered cooperating with America's war on terror, not least the 80,000 Pakistani lives lost.”

Khan said that when all else fail, now through a fumbled judicial procedure, his election symbol has also been taken away, leaving his candidates to run as independents under hundreds of different symbols. This continued political disruption in the country which has smashed the economy and divide the country's regional friends.

PTI’s founder affirmed that during his time, he devised a foreign policy based on regional economic connectivity. He was aggressively pursuing this vision via reaching out states like Russia and renewed relationship with China.
