As April 9-10 marks one year since former prime minister Imran Khan was ousted through a vote of no confidence (VONC) moved by the then-opposition, PTI leaders termed the occasion a “black day”, while figures linked to the government celebrated “topping the one page regime”.

On Feb 11, 2022, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) — the incumbent coalition government comprising the PPP, PML-N and the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) — announced moving a no-confidence motion against Imran, which it succeeded in by securing lawmakers from the PTI on their side. Today, on Imran’s ouster’s one-year anniversary, the party’s official Twitter account shared detailed Twitter thread, comparing the incumbent government’s achievements with theirs and decrying the alleged political victimisation of their party workers.

PTI Secretary General Asad Umar tweeted, “The tale that began a year ago through a regime-change conspiracy has now reached the point of violating the Constitution after [causing] political unrest, economic destruction, worst fascism.” In a separate tweet, he then criticised the incumbent government for the ongoing financial crisis in the country. “Never in [the] history of Pakistan has the growth rate reduced by tenfold in a single year as it has done after the regime change conspiracy. Never in history has Pakistan seen the level of inflation as it has seen in [the] last one year.”

Former human rights minister Shireen Mazari using the social media trend #9thAprilBlackDay like other PTI leaders tweeted that the “regime-change conspiracy brought cabal of crooks.
