Pakistan to probe former PM Imran Khan over US conspiracy claim

 

Imran Khan

For allegedly politicising a conversation between a US official and Islamabad's envoy in Washington for his own political advantage, which harmed relations between the two nations, the Pakistani government initiated an investigation against former prime minister Imran Khan.

Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal stated on the Geo news channel on Monday that Khan "breached the national security." He stated without going into further detail that action would be taken against him based on the findings of the Federal Investigative Agency's investigation.

The investigation was approved by the cabinet of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif after the government asserted that leaked audio showed the former cricket star telling a senior official and a few of his former ministers to "play" with a diplomatic cypher because Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia Donald Lu was upset with Khan's administration. Additionally, the organisation will look into a few of Khan's former ministers.

According to local media, the discussion was leaked approximately a month before Khan's government was overthrown by the then-opposition in April following a no-confidence vote. Khan and the administration haven't refuted the tape, which surfaced on social media last week from an unidentified source.

The US was then rebuked by Pakistan for the "unacceptable" intervention. The US, the country's military, and Sharif's administration—which took over for Khan—have all denied the former premier's allegations.

Since being removed from office, the former cricketer has been dealing with legal issues, including a police charge for intimidating a female judge and top police personnel. Additionally, a High Court has ordered him to accept responsibility for threatening the judge. Khan has started an initiative calling for early elections.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
