Establishment enjoys ‘absolute power’ in Pakistan, says Imran

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said the establishment exercises “absolute authority” in Pakistan compared to civilian setups.

Speaking to a group of journalists at his residence in Lahore on Thursday, which has now become somewhat part of his daily routine, the former premier said things went south for him after he visited Russia in February this year.

Imran said the army chief wanted Pakistan to vote against the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the United Nations while he was of the view that abstaining would be a better option.
He said that the army chief also informed him of American pressure on the matter.
“I told him [army chief] that Pakistan should follow independent foreign policy.”
The ex-premier, who was ousted from power in April this year via the opposition’s no-confidence vote, said during his visit to Moscow, Russia had offered gas and oil supplies to Pakistan in addition to wheat at subsidised prices “which is what Pakistan was in need of to offset rising inflation”.

Speaking on the occasion, he also conceded that he had differences with the establishment on the issue of then Punjab chief minister Usman Buzdar and the anti-corruption drive.

The deposed premier said the military wanted Aleem Khan to be appointed the Punjab CM. Imran said he was informed about the “shady dealings” of the disgruntled PTI leader which is why he said he did not make him the provincial chief executive.
The PTI chief also admitted that as prime minister he failed to achieve results from his anti-corruption campaign.

He also criticised the military’s media wing for responding to his statement on the army chief's appointment that he had made during his Faisalabad address, saying he had never given any statement against the army as an institution.

He reiterated that they have stepped back from the issue of the army chief. “Those in the government are fighting like cats and dogs, so let them fight it out.”

‘Matters between PTI, Military At Point Of No Return’​

Hype around appointment of next army chief is unprecedented, analyst says​

The hype around the appointment of the next army chief is unprecedented, Analyst Farooq Khan said on Thursday.
He made the comments in flagship Naya Daur TV show Khabar Say Aagay. Khan said the military experienced a change-of-command or a COAS was given an extension every three years. But the hype around the issue is unprecedented this time around, he said.
Khan said matters between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the military had reached a point of no return.
Khan said now everybody believed that COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa was going to indeed retire. The ISPR too, he said, had categorically covered his farewell visits.
Journalist Amir Ghauri said it was the Sharifs once again who would appoint the next army chief. Journalist Khurram Hussain said Pakistan had become entrapped in a bailout cycle since the 1960s. The list of her creditors, he said, had steadily risen. The final nail, Hussain said, was then prime minister Imran Khan reneging on an IMF deal.

Most probably khan was not aware about the statement of US senator, Show them dollars and these generals are ready to sell their mothers too

Show them dollars and these generals are ready to sell their mothers too

But it was IK who said that. How well did that work out? Does anyone sane in Pakistan really think that the country is even capable of an independent foreign policy, no matter who is in charge?
