Indo-US friendship hurts Pakistan, says Imran - South Asia could erupt at any time

Islamabad, Saturday 10 October 2020

Pakistan, once considered America's closest ally, is now marginalized, and naturally the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, is frustrated, and in a recent interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, he lashed out at the United States for giving it the same importance as India.

He told the magazine that conflict could erupt at any time in South Asia. That is why in America, the most powerful country in the world, no matter which nation becomes president, it should treat us equally.

He said the US thinks India can stop China, which is an illusion, Imran Khan said India is a big threat to its neighbors China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and us.

Imran also targeted the Modi government, calling it the most extremist and racist government ever, with Hitler being openly praised in the RSS literature, which is considered the intellectual base of Modi's party. They wanted to get rid of the Jews and the RSS Muslims.

The Pakistani government wants to introduce a new law to curb military criticism, defending Imran when asked about it, saying that Pakistan has more freedom of expression than any Western country, adding that each country protects its own institutions, and when they are targeted. It is our responsibility to protect them if they are created.

"I think there are frequent human rights violations in military operations, and we often oppose this when it happens, but we cannot break their morale in public," Imran said.

On the growing acceptance of Israel in the Middle East, including in the UAE, Imran Khan said that every country has its own foreign policy. Can give.

He praised Pakistan’s ally China in his interview, praising the achievement China has made in 40 years, the country has lifted 700 million of its people out of poverty in a short period of time. And I also want to apply the same model in my country.

Despite not being a democracy in China, only the most skilled people reach the top, and there is a merit system, they have imprisoned 450 officials in the last few years, targeting Pakistan's opposition, saying their country is not poor in terms of resources but backward due to corrupt leaders. .

He expressed his determination not to be blackmailed by the opposition and focus his attention on the development of the country's economy. He expressed concern over the state of his country, praising his government for its strategy in the fight against the Corona virus.

The people of Pakistan are earning their living by doing daily wages so we adopted a smart lockdown and we succeeded in that. While India also forced the poor to live in their own homes, so that poverty has increased in India and Iran. He also expressed confidence that he would be able to cope with the second wave of Corona.
