After being defeated in a no-confidence vote, Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan is now claiming he has been replaced by an “imported government.” But for all the bombastic nationalism, Khan’s rule was marked by deference to the IMF and handouts to the rich.

Good article by a Pakistani Socialist, which talked about Imran Khan signing with IMF, social conservatism, repression of trade union and farmer groups and military backing to stay in power.
