Earlier too, Imran Khan had said that the then opposition alliance was "afraid" of appointing former ISI chief Lt Gen Faiz Hameed as the next chief of the army.

Imran praises Indian foreign policy
Giving clarification on his stand, Imran Khan said that I never thought of appointing anyone as the army chief. I have never taken a decision which is not based on merit. Imran Khan once again praised India's independent foreign policy and New Delhi's purchase of Russian oil in line with its national interests despite Western pressure amid the Ukraine war. During his maiden speech, PTI chairman Imran Khan said that India is capable of importing oil from Russia at will. However, Pakistani is a slave, who failed to take decisions for the welfare of the people of his country.
Imran has praised India before
However, this is not the first time that Imran Khan has praised India. Earlier, Imran Khan lauded India for its independent foreign policy as the leader slammed Western countries for criticizing India for buying Russian oil.

Criticizing the Joe Biden administration, Imran Khan on several occasions lauded India for not heeding to the demands of the West and continuing to buy Russian oil despite being a strategic ally of the US.
I want to free Pakistan: Imran Khan
Imran Khan said that the decisions of this country should be taken within the country. If Russia is giving cheap oil and if I have the option to save my countrymen, then we should not ask anyone. No one should be able to tell us. India can take oil from Russia, but enslaved Pakistanis are not allowed to do so. I want to see a free country. There should be justice to the people and security should be provided to the people. In 26 years of political struggle, Imran Khan said that this is the most important journey he is embarking on. My aim is only one that at one time we got freedom from British and it is time to start real independence. This is my message to all Pakistanis. This rally is not for politics, nor for elections or religion. There is only one purpose of this rally that I want to liberate Pakistan.
Common Pakistani is suffering
He insisted that the common Pakistani is the victim. He warned that people would sacrifice everything to save the country. Listen to it carefully. People are watching drama. Inflation has engulfed the country. Imported thieves have increased inflation, but they (members of the ruling party) have been acquitted of the scam of Rs 11 crore. If they obey their master, then they will be accepted. Listen carefully, this country will be able to sacrifice anything.
Video clip played of External Affairs Minister of India at the rally
Earlier, during a massive gathering in Lahore, Imran Khan's PTI party played a video clip of India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar from the Bratislava Forum held in June, where India's external affairs minister said New Delhi would do whatever it took for its people. would be the best. Imran Khan said that when the Indian Foreign Minister was asked not to buy Russian oil. He said that who are they to decide the foreign policy of India. Europe is buying Russian oil and people need it. They said they would continue to buy it. Due to the policies of External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, it looks like an independent nation.
Shahbaz pulled up the government
Drawing a comparison between India and Pakistan, the PTI chief slammed the Shahbaz government for bowing to US pressure on buying Russian oil. Khan said that we had talked to Russia about buying cheap oil, but this government does not have the courage to say no to American pressure. Fuel prices are skyrocketing, people are below poverty line. I am against this slavery. Imran said that India also got independence along with Pakistan and if New Delhi can take a tough stand on its foreign policy according to the needs of its people, then who are they (Shahbaz Sharif government), who is its (US) walking on the line.
