Islamabad, May 24: Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has demanded that US Assistant Secretary of State for Central and South Asia, Donald Lu be fired for his ‘sheer arrogance and terrible manners’, according to a media source.
Notably, Lu is a crucial figure in Imran Khan’s assertions about a US-backed regime-change plot that led to his government’s demise last month following a no-confidence vote.
He accused Lu of threatening Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed, with consequences if a no-confidence vote failed to oust Imran Khan.
Imran Khan, the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, also claims that the threat was made before the no-confidence resolution was tabled, and that it triggered a chain of events that led to his removal as local abettors and conspirators joined the alleged plot.
Imran Khan repeated his charges in an exclusive interview on CNN’s Connect the World on Monday, according to Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper, and lashed out against Donald Lu, demanding for his dismissal.
“Imagine telling the ambassador of a country of 220 million people that you get rid of your Prime Minister,” he said.
