Let us inform that Imran Khan had addressed a huge rally in Islamabad on March 27, in protest against the no-confidence motion of the Opposition and in that he had alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched from abroad to remove him from the top post. Before voting on the no-confidence motion, while addressing the country, he directly blamed America for the no-confidence motion.

Imran Khan accused the United States and said that Washington supported his expulsion because he had gone to Russia without US's permission. However, the United States had denied these allegations of Imran Khan.

Imran Khan reached Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24 and on the same day Russia waged war against Ukraine. Army spokesman General Babar Iftikhar has completely rejected the allegations of Imran Khan on America.

Let us inform that Imran Khan was removed from the power through a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly of Pakistan on Sunday and now Shahbaz Sharif is the new Prime Minister of the country. Earlier, when Imran Khan came to power in 2018, it was also discussed that the army has a big contribution in bringing him to power, although both have been denying this.

After Imran Khan's allegations, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa had also tried to handle the issue by talking about building good relations with the United States.
