Amjad Ayub Mirza describes Pakistan PM Imran Khan as the captain of a sinking ship

Mirza said, "It is only a matter of time before Pakistan disintegrates under the pressure of an insurmountable debt and political chaos she has driven herself into or so it seems."

Mirza said: "When it comes to economic interests the Chinese are even ready to talk to the devil itself. China has been protecting terrorist groups such as ISI backed Lashkar e Taiba based in Pakistan from UN Security Council sanctions.

"Lashkar was responsible for the Mumbai 2008 attacks. China even has established direct contact and clandestine diplomatic relations with Hizb e Islami of Afghanistan, which is the sister organisation of Jamiat e Islami Pakistan. Similarly, on September 3, 2007 BBC News reported that China was supplying arms to the Taliban!"

He further said: " The reason behind China’s clandestine relations with jihadist terrorists is two folds. Firstly, they want guarantees that their projects in Afghanistan will not be terrorist targets, and, secondly, that the jihadists will not take up the issue of Uighur Muslims and support them. In 2000, Chinese ambassador to Pakistan Lu Shulin himself visited Afghanistan to discuss the matter of Uighur support with none other than the Emir of the Emirate of Afghanistan Mullah Omar."

Mirza said China has demonstrated time and again that if need be she will bypass Pakistan to secure its geo-economic and political interests.

Speaking on the role played by corruption in hitting Pakistani economy hard, he said: " Corruption unleashed by the military generals and Imran Khan’s friends, like the Sugar and flour mafia who made millions by hoarding stocks, remains unchecked and no one has yet been brought to justice. This means that the leakage caused by corruption and nepotism will hasten the fall of the economy."
