Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has blamed ex-Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa on his being ousted from the PM's Office."Whatever happened, now as things unfold, it wasn’t the US who told Pakistan [to oust me]. It was unfortunately, from what evidence has come up, [former COAS] General Bajwa who somehow managed to tell the Americans that I was anti-American," Khan, at present chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said in a televised address to party workers on Sunday.Khan previously suspected the Biden administration of conspiring against his erstwhile government.Criticizing the role of General Bajwa during his premiership, Khan went on to call the former Pakistan Army chief a "Super King".Khan, the 1992 Cricket World Cup winning captain, went on to say that his three-and-a-half-year tenure as Prime Minister of Pakistan was that of a "puppet", since General Bajwa, in his capacity as Army chief, held the real power. "Gen Bajwa had become an expert of everything, including the economy, politics, and foreign policy," he claimed."General Bajwa used to get the credit for good decisions and Imran Khan used to serve as a punching bag for every wrong decision," he alleged, before holding Bajwa accountable for the present economic and political crisis in Pakistan.Khan's comments came at a time when Pakistan is negotiating a $7Bln stalled financial package with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).The cash-strapped country is in the midst of a worsening financial crisis with foreign reserves falling to record lows of $2.91Bln last week, which can only sustain about 18 days of imports.Last week, Pakistan's Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said that the broad contours of the deal with the IMF have been agreed upon and the country was expecting $1.12Bln from the global lender as immediate relief when the final agreement is signed between the two sides next week.

Imran Khan Accuses Ex-Army Chief of Conspiring His Being Ousted As PM
14:54 13.02.2023 (Updated: 17:28 13.02.2023) After he was ousted from power in April 2022, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan blamed the United States for plotting his defenestration from the top post.
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has blamed ex-Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa on his being ousted from the PM's Office.
"Whatever happened, now as things unfold, it wasn’t the US who told Pakistan [to oust me]. It was unfortunately, from what evidence has come up, [former COAS] General Bajwa who somehow managed to tell the Americans that I was anti-American," Khan, at present chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said in a televised address to party workers on Sunday.
Khan previously suspected the Biden administration of conspiring against his erstwhile government.
"And so, [the plan to oust me] was not imported from there. It was exported from here to there," the cricketer-turned-politician added.
Criticizing the role of General Bajwa during his premiership, Khan went on to call the former Pakistan Army chief a "Super King".
Khan, the 1992 Cricket World Cup winning captain, went on to say that his three-and-a-half-year tenure as Prime Minister of Pakistan was that of a "puppet", since General Bajwa, in his capacity as Army chief, held the real power.
"Gen Bajwa had become an expert of everything, including the economy, politics, and foreign policy," he claimed.
"General Bajwa used to get the credit for good decisions and Imran Khan used to serve as a punching bag for every wrong decision," he alleged, before holding Bajwa accountable for the present economic and political crisis in Pakistan.
Khan's comments came at a time when Pakistan is negotiating a $7Bln stalled financial package with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The cash-strapped country is in the midst of a worsening financial crisis with foreign reserves falling to record lows of $2.91Bln last week, which can only sustain about 18 days of imports.
Last week, Pakistan's Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said that the broad contours of the deal with the IMF have been agreed upon and the country was expecting $1.12Bln from the global lender as immediate relief when the final agreement is signed between the two sides next week.
