A probe is underway into links bw #Pakistan's former Amb in Washington to then #PTIGovernment. Probe to determine if Amb was a candidate for appointment as Foreign Secretary. His diplomatic cable was compromised to produce a #US conspiracy claim used by ex-PM to create a crisis.
Determining the nature of links between the former Ambassador in Washington and the #PTI-led government is key to understanding his role in creating a serious constitutional, political, and foreign policy crisis that has unsettled #Pakistan. /2

The Ambassador is a consummate diplomat who reconnected Pakistani public diplomacy with the Washington elite and American society in a new way after a long break. How his good work was converted into a hit job targeting #Pakistan-#US ties will inevitably face scrutiny. /3

Ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan warned a rally crowd in #Pakistan's largest city that the #US "imposed" a new PM on the country, telling them 400 American drones attacked "weddings, schools, children" more than a decade ago.

But Khan has 2 messages on 🇺🇸:
One inside 🇵🇰 Another abroad /1
#ImranKhan's messaging inside 🇵🇰: Attack 🇺🇸🇪🇺!

Massive vilification campaign targeting #Pakistan, the Supreme Court, Parliament, and Armed Forces has been traced to individuals close to ex-PM #ImranKhan's inner circle, including spreading fake story of a #US drone attack on 🇵🇰, meant to bolster Khan's anti-West narrative. /1
A key aide to former PM #ImranKhan is sought by @FIA_Agency for links to a massive anti-#Pakistan campaign in retaliation to decisions by the Supreme Court and Parliament nullifying Khan's illegal actions and ousting him in a historic vote. /2

The intense anti-#Pakistan campaign from inside the country following #ImranKhan's ouster has caught the attention of digital media+cybersecurity experts. Khan's #PTI has run one of the most potent vilification & hate-spewing media ops in 🇵🇰 pol history./3

PM #ImranKhan appeared calm, collected, in what likely is his last TV speech in office. He declared #Pakistan is not independent in foreign policy; praised #India+#Russia; called future 🇵🇰 govts "imported," won't recognize them; & invited Pakistanis to challenge them on streets:
The most significant part of PM #ImranKhan's speech is that he underlined his respect for the Judiciary, and that he accepts Supreme Court of #Pakistan verdict overturning his attempt to block the no-confidence vote.
PM #ImranKhan's last TV speech in office is intense & impressive public relations exercise to dilute the most democratic attempt in #Pakistan's modern history to remove a govt from office. The is the jist of the speech.

Quick points from a live #thread:

Prime Minister #ImranKhan in live TV address: We accept the decision of the Supreme Court of #Pakistan
PM #ImranKhan: I respect the Judiciary but disappointed in the verdict by the Supreme Court of #Pakistan
PM #ImranKhan live on TV repeats claims about a conspiracy; says he can't make the diplomatic cable public but repeats earlier claims: a foreign official knew of no-confidence vote; arrogantly gave orders to our diplomat there will be consequences if Khan survivors!
