He brought out evidence on a piece of paper showing there’s a foreign conspiracy to oust him. And instead of denying the authenticity of that evidence, they claimed that he’s leaking confidential documents by bringing out that “evidence”.

    No prizes for guessing who the international conspirator is. They should adopt the tagline “Wrecking democracies reliably - for generations (We also serve freedom in oil rich countries)”.

    This is how whistleblower David McBride was recently convicted in Australia for revealing crimes by military officers in Afghanistan.

    It is standard whistleblower persecution where they shoot the messenger and ignore the crime being revealed (eg Assange’s Collateral Murder video leak).

    Both of the above examples are military abuse of judicial process just like in Pakistan.

    Quoting a Reddit comment:

    A) He refused to give military bases for future operations into Afghanistan. His slogan being, “Allies in peace, not in war”. He is a pacifist.

    B) Him being a pacifist also means Pakistan was supposed to be neutral in the Ukraine conflict. The military blatantly opposed elected Govt’s neutrality policy (before even ousting Khan) and since his overthrow, has been making money selling weapons to Ukraine via proxy (British). Of course the money isn’t going to Pakistan’s state exchequer as there are no official sales yet fresh Pakistani ammunition keeps appearing in Ukraine. Military installed caretaker PM claims these were acquired by the “black market” a laughable claim.

    C) Since the US lost a launchpad into the strategic rear of Iran china and Russia by withdrawing from Afghanistan. Requiring the services of our ‘for sale’ military gives it that launchpad should it ever need it.
