Pakistani army on Monday launched a burning attack on former Prime Minister Imran Khan for his new statement about the top military leadership.
Unfortunately, efforts have been made to discredit and weaken the senior leadership of the Pakistani army when the institution puts lives for the security and safety of the people of Pakistan every day,” the troop said in a statement.
Senior politicians who try to arouse controversy about the appointment of Pakistani army coa, procedures that are well defined in the constitution, are very unfortunate and disappointing. Senior Army leadership has perfect meritorious services for decades to prove patriotic credentials and professionals without doubt. “
Khan accused at the public meeting last week that the new government of the country was afraid of a free and fair election and postponed the election until the appointment of the new Army Head at the end of November, when the general who came to power Qamar Javed Bajwa would retire.
Zardari and Nawaz (Sharif) want to bring their favorite as the next Army Head because they have stolen public money. They are afraid that when the head of the patriotic army comes, he will ask them about their loot, “said Khan.
Bajwa will retire in the last week of November after holding the top position for six years. He was appointed in 2016 and after his term of office for three years, the Imran Khan government in 2019 extended its services for three more years.
Politizing the senior leadership of the Pakistani Army and making the scandal of the COA selection process is not for the benefit of the state of Pakistan or institution. The Pakistani army reiterated its commitment to uphold the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, “the troop said in the statement.
