Imran Khan praises Pakistan Army new leadership, hope to bridge trust.
On Twitter, Imran Khan tribute to the newly appointed Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Asim Munir, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Sahir Shamshad Mirza (CJCSC).
Khan used a passage from Pakistan’s founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah to remind the military of their responsibility in a democracy.
The resolute politician, who was removed in a no-confidence vote and is currently embroiled in a number of legal battles, declared that the military leadership must address the growing mistrust that the populace has for the government over the past eight months.
Asad Umar, the secretary general of the PTI, and other PTI leaders have recently encouraged the new army leadership to restore the “broken trust between the people and the military.”
Prior to handing over leadership to General Asim Munir on Tuesday, former Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, 70, and the PTI chief met in secret.
