In a press conference held in Lahore on Friday, Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, expressed his concerns about the behavior of Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir towards him, stating that he was being treated like a foe. He further accused the retired General Qamar Jawed Bajwa of backstabbing him.
Khan also expressed disappointment about Bajwa’s stance on Russia, which he claimed was taken after his own visit to Russia following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. The PTI leader did not mince words in his criticism, and his remarks have been met with widespread interest and concern across the country.
In a veiled reference to the army’s role in Pakistani politics, Khan said that he was committed to ensuring that democracy is fully entrenched in the country. He emphasized the need for the military to remain neutral and not interfere in politics, asserting that such interference would only damage the country’s democratic institutions.
Khan’s statements have generated significant buzz in the media and have sparked a range of reactions from different quarters. Some have praised him for speaking out against what they see as the army’s overreach, while others have criticized him for being too outspoken and confrontational.
Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, Khan remains undeterred and is committed to fighting for democracy and the rule of law in Pakistan. His bold and unapologetic stance has made him a formidable force in Pakistani politics and a voice to be reckoned with.
