Sami Hamidi at the International Virtual Convention: Imran Khan and The World.  He addresses the unfolding situation in Pakistan, particularly the removal of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The speaker highlights the global impact of events in Pakistan, emphasizing that Imran Khan's policies and rhetoric have extended the country's influence beyond its borders.

Imran Khan's leadership is characterized by a shift from a dependent relationship with other Muslim states to one of equal self-respect. The speaker underscores the significance of Imran Khan's speeches, especially at the United Nations, which resonated with Muslims globally, presenting them as logical thinkers with legitimate grievances.

Imran Khan's efforts to reshape Pakistan's role in international affairs, such as the Kuala Lumpur Summit, drew opposition from some Middle Eastern countries seeking normalized relations with India and Israel.

The removal of Imran Khan is analyzed through the lens of the establishment's discomfort with his independent stance and growing popularity. Imran Khan's insistence on raising issues like Kashmir and Palestine clashed with the establishment's preferred diplomatic approach, leading to tensions.

The speaker argues that Imran Khan's popularity posed a threat to the status quo, prompting an orchestrated vote of no confidence and subsequent attempts to discredit him with various charges.

Drawing parallels with historical events, the speaker likens Imran Khan's removal to the ousting of Mohamed Morsi in Egypt. However, the speaker notes that Imran Khan's situation is unique, as media attempts to undermine his popularity have failed.

The establishment's challenge now is to engineer an election without Imran Khan on the ballot, while the speaker emphasizes the ongoing interest and support for Imran Khan among the Pakistani people. The establishment is portrayed as anxious about the potential for public unrest and is seeking a strategic timing for elections to avoid widespread protests.
