Congresswoman Maxine Waters Holds Zoom Call with Imran Khan on May 8th
United States Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ record on advocating for international peace, justice, and human rights is well-known and remains unchallenged.
On Monday May 8th, 2023, Congresswoman Maxine Waters held a zoom call with former Prime Minister Pakistan Imran Khan along with Adnan U Khan President Council of Pakistan (COP) and Ambassador Dr Salman Ahmad.
According to a COP message, the Pakistani diaspora, across United States has been calling their elected officials, members of United States Congress and United States Senate and asking for their help and support to address issues in Pakistan that span from human rights violations against American citizens, British citizens, and Pakistani citizens to journalists being killed, tortured and jailed.
The Pakistan Government, according to the message, is violating the Constitution of Pakistan. Judgments and rulings of the Supreme Court are being rejected by the ruling parties and Government of Pakistan. The Pakistani diaspora is one of the most influential groups of Pakistani American citizens who have always lobbied United States elected officials to support and help Pakistan. The Pakistani diaspora has parted their ways from current Pakistani establishment and PDM Government. They are summoning the help of United States law makers to address issues that they see are dismantling Pakistan and its democracy. As is being reported Capital Hill in Washington DC is flooded with calls of Pakistani diaspora asking for their help as political leaders in opposition parties are being jailed in Pakistan along with anyone who has voiced their opinion against the Pakistan's establishment and Government. Pakistani Americans themselves are avoiding traveling to Pakistan because of the danger to them and their families in Pakistan.
