LAHORE:
PML-N leader Javed Latif has said Pakistan may consider going beyond words for oppressed Muslim nations if the West does not stop demanding the release of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan.
At a press conference on Friday, he claimed that the demand by some Western diplomats and lawmakers to release the jailed PTI leader is part of a larger plot not only to sabotage Pakistan-China relations and Pakistan’s nuclear program, but also to allow the invasion of Pakistan. neighboring Iran.
Latif, who expressed his opposition to the ongoing negotiation with the PTI, said that if what had happened on May 9, 2023 in Pakistan after the arrest of Imran Khan had happened somewhere else, the perpetrators and instigators would have been brought to book. a firing squad.
Terming the ongoing parliaments as useless, he said the PTI was only pushing a one-point agenda which was to free Imran Khan.
“Our government and institutions should disclose to the nation the pressure they are facing from foreign powers to release Imran Khan. Imran serves the Western agenda. He traded Kashmir, an issue the West was grappling with for decades,” he alleged.
Latif went on to state that after devastating Syria, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine, the West wants to go after Iran, so it wants Pakistan to look the other way.
Doubling down on allegations against Imran Khan and how it would serve the Western agenda, he said the West wants to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as well as access to our nuclear energy.
“If the loan we are going to receive is a charity that forces us to compromise our national pride and dignity, then we would rather die with honor.”
Throughout his press conference he highlighted that he also has complaints with the establishment, but stated that it is our internal matter.
He claimed that former ISI chief Faiz Hameed was not arrested for corruption in a housing society but for being part of a conspiracy to incite revolt in Pakistan.
