TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ In a veiled attack on Pakistan’s Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, former prime minister Imran Khan has alleged that “some elements” in the powerful establishment who indulged in “bad practices” were responsible for his unceremonious ouster from power.
According to experts, Khan, who was ousted from power on April 10 after the National Assembly passed a no-confidence motion against him, had apparently lost support of the Army after he refused to endorse the appointment of the Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency chief last year. Finally, he agreed but it soured his ties with the Army.
Addressing party workers on Twitter at night, Imran said: “There are also humans in institutions. If one or two individuals do something wrong, the entire institution is not responsible. If one person (in an apparent reference to Army chief Gen. Bajwa) makes a mistake, this does not mean that the whole institution is at fault.”
Former information minister Fawad Chaudhry told a news channel on Wednesday that relations between the establishment and Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government had strained for months. “We tried our best, including myself, to remove misunderstandings with the establishment but could not succeed,” he said.
