This interviewer is so biased it’s grotesque. Pakistan’s leader must serve its people, this is why the U.S overthrown a legitimately elected country leader simply because he refused to be used as a tool for the western interest. I hope the people of Pakistan will re-elect lmran Khan as the prime minster, you country truly deserve a leader has the best interests for its country and people. Best wishes from a Chinese neighbour.

I have great respect for DW, but this was an appalling interview! Let the prime minister speak! Im from Australia and before this interview I did not have Pakistan's viewpoint on the subject, but the prime minister held himself very well and more importantly gave answers for the questions the interviewer was asking! Honestly DW taking shots at Russia is easy at this point but the PM of Pakistan has nothing to do with it.

Dependencies make leaders cave to dictators; even Germany wouldn't immediately cut off oil and gas from Russia, and they have alternatives. Pakistan has real needs of food and fuel with no backup as far as I know, which puts them between a rock and a hard place. Kudos to Imran Khan for telling it like it is.
