Pakistan Chooses New Prime Minister After Ousting Imran Khan, Who Alleges U.S.-Backed Coup
Shahbaz Sharif was chosen as Pakistan's new prime minister on Monday after Imran Khan was removed in a no-confidence vote in Parliament on Sunday. Khan's ouster came after the nation's Supreme Court ruled Khan's attempt to dissolve Parliament earlier this month was illegal. Khan blamed his removal on a "U.S.-backed regime change" plot backed by his opposition, and lawmakers of his party have resigned en masse. We go to Islamabad to speak with Tooba Syed, a member of Pakistan's left-wing Awami Workers Party, who says Khan's allegations aren't substantiated by evidence and come amid Khan's tendency to use anti-American sentiment to strengthen his populist platform while upholding policies that hurt working-class Pakistani people and women. We also speak with historian Tariq Ali, who says the major Pakistani political parties are ravaged by corruption and overinfluenced by the military and financial incentives. Both Ali and Syed agree the election of establishment politician Shahbaz Sharif will not change conditions in Pakistan.
