During a recent Zoom call with Maxine, former Prime Minister Imran Khan earnestly appealed to the congresswoman for any form of assistance that she could offer him and his party during these challenging times.
The coalition government has been actively pursuing strict measures against Khan and his party members/supporters following a series of attacks on various government installations and buildings, including the core commander house in Lahore, which resulted in substantial damage and destruction.
Imran, known for his propensity for changing positions, has taken yet another U-turn by now seeking help from the current American government, the very entity he previously blamed for the downfall of his own government when he held power. Displaying a memo in his hand during a rally, he claimed that the American government had ordered the establishment in Pakistan to dismantle his regime due to his non-compliance with directives from the Pentagon and the White House.
Interestingly, Khan has repeatedly asserted that taking U-turns is morally acceptable when necessary, justifying it as a pragmatic approach. However, I personally view this as a clear case of hypocrisy. Seeking assistance from the same government he accused of being responsible for his regime's downfall is a prime example of double standards at their finest.

We call that here "Balimbing". It means the politician changes his party or affiliation based on the advantages he/she would get from the other political party. People who usually do this are not really after the welfare of their citizens, but rather they want victory at all costs, and they have no scruples in doing so. Hence, they won't be good politicians or government servants in their countries.

It is pitiful for a man to bow in front of that troll Maxine.
