Letter To Editor: 09:36 07 April 7, 2022: Imran Khan's claim on US seeking to overturn his govt fictional: ex- Trump official:
Dubbing Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan's claim that the US is looking to overturn his government as “concocted”, a former top Trump administration official said that the country is entering a period of political uncertainty. “I think that Imran Khan has concocted this idea that somehow the US is looking to overturn his government. He simply has concocted this story to try to shore up his own base and gain support for his position,” said Lisa Curtis, who was Trump Administration's point person for India during his four years”.

“Where does the US come into this? With his position as prime minister under threat, Khan has fallen back on a tried-and-tested tactic in Pakistani politics: Blame the United States.
Khan’s new narrative is that there is a foreign conspiracy to oust him from power. And it is America, Khan says, that is really behind the no-confidence motion filed by opposition lawmakers.
He has accused US assistant secretary of state Donald Lu of being involved in the plot to overthrow his government, suggesting that Lu had warned Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington that there would be implications if Khan survived the no-confidence vote.
The US has dismissed this claim, and Khan has offered no evidence to support it. But he is tapping into a popular trope in Pakistan that the US is up to something. Anti-Americanism flies in Pakistan. So Khan is playing to a well-embedded narrative in pointing a finger at Washington”.
What just happened in Pakistan? A no-confidence vote, first submitted as a motion by Pakistan’s opposition parties on 8 March, 2022 was supposed to take place. But it was delayed repeatedly as Khan tried to cling to power.
Finally on 3 April 2022 the National Assembly was supposed to vote. Instead, Khan’s newly appointed law minister made a statement to Parliament alleging a foreign conspiracy aimed at dislodging the government, accused the opposition of treason and filed a motion with the deputy speaker to abandon the no-confidence vote. Khan then dissolved the National Assembly and called for early national elections.
There is no precedent for any of this in Pakistan, and it goes against the normal democratic process. Opposition lawmakers lodged a petition challenging Khan’s gambit, and now it is up to the Supreme Court to decide. In short, Pakistan has been thrown into a serious constitutional crisis.
What prompted the calls for a no-confidence vote? The basic charge against Imran Khan is mismanagement, especially in Punjab – Pakistan’s second-largest province in terms of area and its most populous.
Khan came to power in 2018 promising a “new Pakistan” and an end to the corruption that has for decades been part of Pakistan’s politics. But he has failed to live up to that promise. Khan’s appointed chief minister in Punjab, Usman Buzdar, has been accused of widespread corruption, taking bribes and receiving money in return for making bureaucratic appointments. Even members of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party have broken with the prime minister over his backing of the now outgoing Punjab chief minister. On top of this, Khan has been criticised for his handling of everything from the pandemic to soaring inflation in the country.
Explained: Did the US play a role in the toppling of the Imran Khan government in Pakistan? Imran Khan, the outgoing prime minister, has tapped into a popular trope in Pakistan that the US is up to something. He has been constantly pointing a finger at Washington for the crisis that the country is witnessing: The Conversation: April 07, 2022 08:15:01 IST: Firstpost https://www.firstpost.com/
