The U.S. government removed Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan. He was removed with a no confidence vote by the Parliament, according to Press Tv.
Khan met with Mr. Putin February 24th and attempted to take a neutral position towards Russia’s war in Ukraine and had. But that was untenable for the United States.
In a 40-minute address to the nation on Friday, Khan accused the opposition of buying support in the National Assembly with “open horse-trading… selling of lawmakers like goats and sheep”.
He said they had conspired with the US to bring the no-confidence vote because of his opposition to US foreign policy.
Addressing a large rally in the capital Islamabad late last month, Prime Minister Khan accused an unnamed “foreign power” – in a clear reference to the United States – of funding a “conspiracy” to topple his democratically-elected government.
He said the “foreign power” sent millions of dollars to opposition parties to launch a no-confidence vote against him in the parliament.
Complicating Khan’s approach to Russia and Ukraine, Pakistan’s Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa favored good relations with the United States. Bajwa condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Shehbaz Sharif was sworn in as Pakistan’s new Prime Minister. Sharif is the brother of Nawaz Sharif, a former Prime Minister of Pakistan.
