Khan said the cable was proof of a U.S. conspiracy to push the Pakistani military to oust him in a parliamentary vote in 2022 because he had visited Moscow just before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.and he then led protests against the government to push for an early general election, and against the military, which he accused of trying to sideline him.
