ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has played the trump card in the final speech before the voting on the no-trust move against him likely to be held on April 3.
In his address to the nation, PM Imran Khan has played his trump card against the political rivals in an emotional speech to the nationals by recalling the achievements of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during the 3.5 years, as well as internal and external conspiracies in different phases.
The premier became successful to build a strong narrative in the country that his government is being toppled after a conspiracy made by the United States (US) with the support of the past rulers including Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, opposition parties and a faction of the establishment.

Khan gave a clear strategy for his political future for continuing the strong anti-US narrative in the country even if he would survive the no-trust vote or be ousted to go for fresh elections.
Political analysts said that the anti-US and anti-West narratives equipped with the aggressively styled politics will help Khan to gather his shattered voter base once again for confidently going to contest fresh elections.
The PTI government has seemingly witnessed the first success after Imran Khan’s anti-West narrative in the second phase of the local government (LG) polls in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) yesterday in which the ruling political party emerged as the largest party in the province massively hit by the war on terror.

Imran Khan’s narrative managed to create a crack in the voter base of PML-N and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).
They said that the opposition leaders will definitely see troubles in implementing its plan to go immediately for fresh elections after promulgating electoral reforms under a new mandate of a national government after the ouster of PM Khan. Moreover, any delay in the fresh elections would further intensify the economic crisis, giving a major dent to the new government.
The new government will have to take tough decisions in view of the currency devaluation and increasing global oil prices that would bring a new wave of inflation. They predicted that the opposition parties would not choose to immediately go for elections after Imran Khan’s ouster due to his anti-US narrative.
