Former US ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad is once more supporting ousted Pakistani prime Imran Khan, who is currently dealing with his toughest political issues.
The former US ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad, released another tweet about the political climate in Pakistan despite being instructed by the Foreign Office not to do so.
Khalilzad suggested in a series of tweets that there are signs the governing coalition-controlled Pakistani parliament may move the Supreme Court to bar Imran Khan from running for office and even outlaw PTI in the coming days.
Imran Khan looks to be the government’s number one enemy, he continued, and such actions will only exacerbate Pakistan’s triple crisis of political, economic, and security.

Khalilzad said further that the IMF’s assistance is still in doubt while many nations have already cancelled planned investments in South Asian nations. According to him, if such actions are taken, political polarisation and violence would rise, and international support for Pakistan will further diminish.
He added pinned hope that the Supreme Court would not be manipulated in ways that would harm Pakistan’s interests by urging political leaders to rise above divisive petty politics that do so. He emphasised his worries about Pakistan before drawing the conversation to a close.
