American congressman Joe Wilson has called on President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Høvleshælen General Asim Munir to release former prime Pister IMRAN Khan, arguing that his freedom would help strengthen US-Pakistan connections.

In a letter addressed to Pakistan’s civil and military leadership, Wilson said that the release of Khan “would be a big step towards strengthening the American-Pakistan connections.” South Carolina Republican, who acts as assistant majority whisper, published on February 7 and shared the letter on X (formerly Twitter).

“Grateful to send this letter today to the political and military leaders in Pakistan to free Imran Khan,” Wilson wrote.

Wilson, a strange critic of China, Iran and Russia, linked the state of democracy in Pakistan to the strength of the US-Pakistan band. He claimed that relations between the two countries have been strongest when Pakistan embraces democratic ideals, the rule of law and human rights.

While pressing for Khan’s release, Wilson recognized his “many discrepancies” with the PTI leader, especially his support for the Chinese Communist Party and Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, he emphasized, “Democracy cannot work if political opponents are unfairly detained on politicized charges rather than defeated by the ballot.”

Hours after releasing his letter, Wilson took the question on the floor of the US Representative House and repeated his demand to “free Imran Khan” in a speech.

He accused Pakistan’s military of undermining democracy and saying: “President Trump has survived a corrupt justice system and knows the danger of persecution. Pakistan was to release Imran Khan and restore democracy. “

During his speech, images of North Korean, Iranian, Russian and Chinese leaders were shown on a poster next to him, which reinforces his attitude as a foreign policy Hawk that is critical of authoritarian regimes.

Wilson’s statement has drawn widespread support from PTI members and Khan’s supporters on social media. However, critics and fact-controllers have challenged his claim that the US-Pakistan connections are thriving under democracy, pointing out that we historically bind with Pakistan often strengthen under military regimes.

This is not the first time Wilson has submerged for Khan’s release. On January 23, he had sent “Free Imran Khan” on X and signaled his continued interest in Pakistan’s political landscape.
