Fawad Chaudhry, the Senior Vice President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has denied rumors regarding Imran Khan, the party chief and former prime minister, requesting a meeting with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir. In a tweet, Chaudhry clarified that Imran Khan has not made any such request to meet the army chief or any of his representatives. Additionally, he refuted claims that President Dr. Arif Alvi suggested a meeting between the army chief and Shahbaz Sharif to the PTI chairman, emphasizing that these speculations are baseless.
This clarification comes after senior journalist Kamran Khan’s tweet, which claimed that General Munir had sent a message to Imran through President Alvi for a meeting with the prime minister. However, Imran allegedly expressed his desire to meet General Munir instead of the PM, which General Munir declined, stating he would not interfere in the political process.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan has announced that he has 76 cases against him for various charges, including terrorism, blasphemy, and sedition, and the number of cases is increasing rapidly. In the sedition case against him, neither the officer nor the institution has been identified. Imran Khan expressed his frustration and tweeted that “a bunch of criminals imposed on a nation by those who are devoid of intelligence, morality, and ethics.”
Imran Khan’s recent statements and controversies have led to criticism from opposition parties, with Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb accusing Imran Khan of “begging for an NRO” in response to his willingness to talk to everyone for the betterment of the country.
In conclusion, the allegations of Imran Khan’s request to meet with COAS General Asim Munir have been debunked by PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry. Imran Khan’s 76 cases against him and his recent statements have led to criticism from opposition parties, with some accusing him of seeking a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
