“Imran Khan will remain in perpetual election mode and there are some who believe he never came out of it.”
“The freedom struggle begins again today against a foreign conspiracy of regime change,” Imran Khan tweeted as he departed office. He claimed that he was a victim of a US plot but as Professor Ayesha Jalal says in this podcast, he offered no proof. In this podcast with Dion Fanning, she explains why the US moved away from Pakistan and why the Biden administration were said to believe Khan was supporting Trump. Jalal also discusses what Imran Khan's departure means for relations with Russia, China as well as negotiations with the IMF, which had stalled.
