US finds itself on wrong side of Imran Khan’s populism
July 6, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s embattled prime minister, Imran Khan, in a speech that is likely to reverberate in both Washington and Beijing, accused the United States last week of having crushed the “self-esteem” of the Pakistani people.
During his address to Parliament, which was ostensibly about the fiscal budget passed the previous day, Khan pontificated on topics as diverse as the golden age of Islam, genetic modifications of Pakistani livestock, and the “miraculous” achievements of the Communist Party of China.
But nowhere not even while recounting his own achievements was he as impassioned as when he trained his ire on US-Pakistan relations. Describing Pakistan’s involvement in the War on Terror as “the blackest period” in the country’s history, he vowed to never again be a “partner in conflict” with the United States.
