Eventually the chair of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan was gone. He had to face defeat in the voting on the no-confidence motion late on Saturday night. Imran remained in power in Pakistan for three years and seven months. Now a new government will be formed in Pakistan. It is expected that Shahbaz Sharif will be the Prime Minister in the new government. The Prime Minister’s name can be announced in the session of the National Assembly on Monday.
Pakistan has been creating problems for India since independence.
The population of Pakistan is only 22 crores. This is equal to the population of Uttar Pradesh. But, due to its geographical location, Pakistan has been playing a big role in global politics. Especially after independence, it has been creating problems for India. To the west of Pakistan is Afghanistan. To its north-east is China. For decades, Afghanistan was the testing ground of America and Russia. This forced America to make Pakistan its friend.
Imran had adopted anti-America policy
However, Imran Khan’s stand on America was different from the earlier Prime Ministers. He tried to increase closeness with China. Later he was also seen coming closer to Russia. Experts say that Pakistan’s foreign and defense policies have been decided by the army there. This is the reason that no matter who is the Prime Minister in Pakistan, his attitude towards India remains the same.

Pakistan spends huge amount on training of terrorists
Despite the poor economy, Pakistan has been accused of spending huge sums of money on training terrorists. He uses these terrorists against India. In this, the government, ISI and Pakistan Army have an active role.
Pakistan government has been interfering in Kashmir
Pakistan also has nuclear weapons. He has fought three wars with India since independence. Two of these battles have taken place over Kashmir. Pakistan has been trying to promote separatism in Kashmir. Kashmir is the biggest reason for the bad relations between the two countries. Bilateral talks between the two countries have not taken place in the last several years.
Recently there has been a softening in the attitude of Pakistan
However, recently there has been a slight softening in Pakistan’s stand on Kashmir. Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa had recently said that he is ready for talks on Kashmir if India is ready. Experts say that behind this, Narendra Modi’s government in India may have a tough stand on Kashmir.
What to expect from the new Prime Minister?
Shahbaz Sharib is expected to become the new prime minister in Pakistan. Prior to this, his elder brother Nawaz Sharif has been the Prime Minister of Pakistan several times. His stance on India has been relatively soft. However, we should not forget that Nawaz Sharif was the Prime Minister of Pakistan at the time of Kargil war. Therefore, as far as India is concerned, not much change can be expected in Pakistan’s stand.
