Imran Khan stated in the letter that the former army chief admitted before a journalist (Javed Chaudhry) that “we considered Imran dangerous for the country if he continued to stay in power”.

Raising an objection over the use of the term ‘we’ by the former army chief, Imran asked “who were we” as stated by Bajwa. The former prime minister, in the letter, addressed to President Dr Arif Ali, asked who had given the powers to Bajwa to decide that an elected PM would prove to be a danger to the country if he would continue in power.

“Only people through election can decide who they want to elect as the PM. Taking a such right on himself is a clear violation of his oath, as given in the Third Scheduled Article 244 of the Constitution,” said Imran Khan. “Regardless of the merits of his claims in this case, he also admitted that he had managed to get the NAB case against Shaukat Tarin dismissed. That showed that NAB was under his control, which was again a clear violation of his oath because the army itself was an institution under the Ministry of Defence and civilian officials, the autonomous institution did not fall under its control,” added Imran.

Citing an interview of Gen Bajwa with a journalist in which he revealed that he had tapes of Imran Khan, the former premier said it was once again a serious violation of his oath as well as fundamental human rights. “Under what authorisation, Gen Bajwa was recording confidential conversations,” asked Imran.

The PTI chief also questioned under which powers, Gen Bajwa differed from the then government’s policy of maintaining neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war at the Islamabad Security Conference held over the issue on April 2, 2022. Imran maintained that the government policy on the issue arrived after developing a consensus of all stakeholders, including retired diplomats, who had experience in the relevant field.

“I would also point out that Chapter 2 of the Constitution describes the mandate of the armed forces, and ..

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan and his party will neither want a confrontation with the new military establishment nor President Dr Arif Alvi will show any resistance or create any hurdle in the appointment of the army chief by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a senior PTI leader has claimed.

Talking to The News on Thursday on condition of not being named, the PTI leader said that Khan and the party leadership will not make the new army chief’s appointment controversial. He confirmed that the president will also ensure a smooth process for the appointment.

“We will accept the new army chief without bothering who is appointed by the prime minister,” the PTI leader said in a clear indication that the party does not like to continue with its present policy of confrontation with the military establishment.

He rejected the fear among some government circles that the president may delay the appointment of the army chief because of Khan’s recent statements on the issue. “I assure you the president will not create any problem,” he said, adding that this was the party policy.
