If Received, Will Forward the Letter to PM: COAS
Islamabad: Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir has denied receiving a letter from PTI founder Imran Khan, stating that even if he did receive it, he wouldn’t bother reading it.
In an informal chat with journalists at a reception hosted by the prime minister in honor of Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, General Asim Munir denied claims made by PTI leadership that Imran Khan wrote letters to him. General Asim Munir categorically denied receiving any letter, stating he wouldn’t bother reading it even if it arrived. Instead, he’d promptly forward it to the prime minister. General Munir expressed optimism about Pakistan’s progress, emphasizing the country is moving forward and making positive strides.
TV anchorperson journalist Asma Shirazi said this in Geo News program, ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath’ on Thursday.
She said, “General Asim Munir does not meet people while General Bajwa’s various interactions and long meetings were well known.”
She said there was quite a small number of journalists at the lunch hosted by Prime Minister Sebaz Sharif in honor of Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan. When General Asim Munir passed by the journalists, they stopped him and asked how things were going. At this, the army chief said, “There are very good things as Pakistan is making progress. Pakistan is on the rise. Pakistan has to move forward.”
When asked about letters being written by the PTI founder Imran Khan, Asma quoted the COAS as saying he has not been getting any letters and if he gets any, he won’t read it and would post it to the prime minister. – The News
