Islamabad: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused his predecessor Imran Khan of ruining the country’s economy and called him “the biggest liar on the face of the earth” who injected poison into society to “dangerously polarize the electorate” after his overthrow from power in April.

In an interview with Pakistani newspaper The Guardian, Sharif spoke of the “damage” Khan, who ruled Pakistan from 2018 to April this year, had caused the country in domestic and foreign affairs.

Pakistan is currently in the midst of an unprecedented economic crisis, as it grapples with rising inflation, sky-high external debt and dwindling foreign exchange reserves. Pakistan has also been hit by unprecedented floods. The floods have killed more than 1,600 people and displaced more than 33 million others in Pakistan.

The floods left a third of the country submerged in water and caused damage estimated at nearly $30 billion.

Sharif, 71, called Khan a “liar and a cheat” whose policies had left the economy in shambles.

He accused Khan, who ran on an anti-corruption manifesto, of running the country’s affairs according to his own personal agenda “in a way that can only be described as the most inexperienced, self-absorbed politician, selfish and immature part of the history of this country.” Khan was ousted from power in April after losing a vote of no confidence in his leadership, which he said was part of a US-led plot targeting him over his foreign policy decisions independent on Russia, China and Afghanistan.

Khan has made repeated allegations that the vote was a “foreign conspiracy” against him by the United States and claimed to have a diplomatic cable to prove it. The United States has denied any role in his ouster.

The problem escalated further last week after audio recordings of private casual conversations, held by Khan in his office when he was prime minister, leaked onto the internet. In the audio leaks, Khan could have been heard discussing the controversial US figure and how to exploit it to frame his ousting as a conspiracy.

Sharif said the leaked audio clips were “an irrefutable endorsement that he (Khan) is the biggest liar on the face of the earth. I say this not with a sense of joy but a sense of embarrassment and concern. My country’s image has been seriously damaged by these lies told out of petty self-interest. Sharif acknowledged that he faced significant challenges to power in Pakistan as Khan mobilized in the streets, the newspaper said.

“Never before have I worried about the future of our country,” Sharif said. “Imran Khan has injected an endless amount of poison into this society and made it extremely polarized like never before…he is distorting facts and creating hatred.” Pakistan’s Cabinet has approved a judicial inquiry into the audio leaks. Sharif said Khan “must be held accountable for all these knowing criminal acts”.

“Khan damaged Pakistan’s relationship with the United States without rhyme or reason,” Sharif said.

Although anti-American sentiment is still present in Pakistan, the Sharif administration has worked actively to restore ties with the United States. Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto returned from a trip to the United States this week and Qamar Javed Bajwa, the army chief, is currently in Washington.

Sharif also made it clear that he would reaffirm Pakistan’s close relationship with China, which would have suffered under Khan after he blocked the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a multi-billion dollar infrastructure project that is the cornerstone cornerstone of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. (BIS).

There are fears that CPEC could lead Pakistan into a debt trap with China, and growing local opposition has led to CPEC projects and workers being hit by bombings.

Sharif has pledged to continue the project and will visit China in November, describing the country as “one of Pakistan’s most trusted friends”.

“Don’t get me wrong, CPEC is a project that is not only good for the welfare of Pakistan, but for the whole region,” he said.

Sharif has been open about his brother Nawaz Sharif’s involvement in the government. “Of course I consult Nawaz, he is my boss and my older brother,” he said. “But he gave me full leeway to make decisions.” Nawaz Sharif was disqualified and sentenced to 10 years in prison on corruption charges which he said were politically motivated. He was given temporary bail to travel to London for medical treatment in 2021 and never returned. He is now said to be controlling the party from his central London property, with Sharif making two visits in the past month.
