“Raise your hands and tell me if it was an interference or a conspiracy,”Khan asked his audience. “There was a conspiracy against this country at avery vast international scale,” he reiterated.

Thus, the conspiracy had been in the works for a whileand then our US ambassador meets Donald Lu.”
He repeated his grievance against the judiciary, asking what crime had hecommitted that they felt the need to open courts last Saturday at midnight.
“I, till today, have never broken Pakistan’s law. I created two ofPakistan’s biggest charity institutions. I created Shaukat Khanum and twouniversities. I am the only politician to have been declared sadiq andameen by Pakistan’s Supreme Court. I knew that the match was fixed but whatpained me is that the courts opened up at midnight. It will remain with mefor the rest of my life.”
Khan asked why the judiciary did not take suo motu notice and get the cableinvestigated when the then deputy speaker gave his ruling on a foreignconspiracy and why it remained silent “when an open market was set up andpoliticians were being sold”.
