IMRAN KHAN CALLED "BIGGEST LIAR ON EARTH" BY PRIME MINISTER SHEHBAZ SHARIF, ACCUSED OF RUINING PAKISTAN'S ECONOMY

Shehbaz Sharif, the current prime minister of Pakistan has accused Imran Khan, who was ousted from office in April, of wrecking the nation's economy and called him the world's biggest liar for injecting poison into the society and dangerously polarising the people. Sharif discussed the harm Khan, who led Pakistan from 2018 to April of this year, has caused to the nation in both domestic and international issues in an interview with The Guardian published from Pakistan. Khan ruled Pakistan from 2018 to April.


As it struggles with rising inflation, exorbitant foreign debt, and diminishing foreign currency reserves, Pakistan is currently experiencing an economic crisis that is unparalleled.


He claimed that Khan, who ran on an anti-corruption manifesto, was the least skilled, self-centered, arrogant, and immature leader in the history of this nation, managing the country's affairs to fit his own personal agenda.


Khan was removed from office in April after losing a vote of no confidence, which he said was part of a US-led plot to assassinate him for his independent foreign policy choices on Russia, China, and Afghanistan. Khan also claimed that the vote was part of a US-led conspiracy to destabilise Pakistan.


Khan stated repeatedly that the vote was a US-led foreign plot against him and that he had a diplomatic cable to back up his claims. The US has denied playing any part in his removal.


Last week, audio recordings of private, unofficial discussions made by Khan in his office when he was prime minister were posted online, further escalating the situation. According to the audio leaks, Khan was heard discussing the controversial US cypher and how to use it to make his ouster seem like a conspiracy.


According to Sharif, Khan has harmed Pakistan's relations with the United States for no apparent reason. Although there is still a strong anti-American feeling in Pakistan, the Sharif government has been aggressively trying to improve relations with the US. This week, the army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa visited Washington, D.C., and this week, Bilawal Bhutto, the foreign minister, also returned from a trip to the US.
