Pakistanis are paying a heavy price for the "conspiracy" of regime change, ousted prime minister Imran Khan said on Thursday as he once again tore into ex-Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa for helping a "bunch of criminals" to come to power. Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, slammed the government for "slaughtering" the Pakistani rupee, saying it has increased public debt and led to high inflation.
