He added, “Pakistanis paying heavy price of regime change conspiracy where bunch of criminals have been foisted upon nation by ex COAS.” Pakistani rupee’s value declined sharply in interbank trading with local currency falling by Rs 19.98 against dollar,

Imran Khan took former Army Chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and present PDM government to task as he pinned blame for Pakistan’s financial woes on them. Since his ouster, PTI chief has maintained that no-confidence motion against him was Huge foreign conspiracy against Pakistan that he claimed was carried out by United States.

Recently, however, Imran has shifted his focus away from alleged role of US in his ouster and towards former COAS Bajwa instead.

Gen Bajwa who somehow managed to tell Americans that I was anti-American. Ouster plan Wasnt imported from there. It was exported from here to there. Country was fast heading towards hyperinflation, with at least four consumer goods groups already in territory of around 50 percent surge in prices on yearly basis.
