Khawaja Asif accuses Imran Khan of seeking power with US backing

News Desk

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif accused former prime minister Imran Khan of being a “product of the establishment” and claimed he is now seeking power with the support of the United States,

“Imran Khan wants to return to power riding on America’s shoulders,” Asif said during a press conference in London. He warned, “If any foreign hand attempts to support PTI, Pakistan will defend itself.”

Asif highlighted the severity of the May 9 attacks on sensitive installations, describing the incidents as premeditated and meticulously planned. “The crowd was trained, and strategic locations, including defence installations, were targeted,” he said.

He praised the convictions handed down by military courts to those involved in the riots, calling them a “milestone” for Pakistan. “The faces of those who were sentenced are now visible, and more verdicts will follow,” he added.

Recounting Imran Khan’s political ascent, Asif alleged, “The establishment at the time worked to oust Nawaz Sharif and bring Imran Khan to power. General Bajwa was involved in this plan.” He accused Khan and his associates of corruption during his government, saying, “Billions of rupees were siphoned off, involving Imran Khan, his family, and his inner circle.”

The defence minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty. “If Imran Khan had been in power during the nuclear tests, he would have pocketed $5 billion and sold out the country,” he alleged.

Asif announced his intention to release a white paper detailing allegations of corruption against Khan, including cases related to the Shaukat Khanum hospital. “I will present these issues on the Assembly floor and in press conferences,” he concluded.
