Imran Khan says COAS General Asim Munir is behind Zaman Park operation

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has once again accused the establishment of interfering in politics, emphasising that nothing happens in the country without the permission of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.

In an interview with Voice of America, Khan said, “This government is totally dependent on the establishment, nothing can happen without their consent.”

“Who is that one man?” asks the brilliant @SarahzTV. @ImranKhanPTI replies: “The army chief.”

With this, Khan has now clearly stated that after Bajwa, even General Munir is out to get him. pic.twitter.com/fzZHX0iiLF

Talking amidst the chaos happening right outside of his home at Zaman Park, he said, “It is too big a step for a government which has no legitimacy, no roots in this country, no moral authority. The only reason they are there is because of the establishment.”

He went on to say that the establishment is one man and that man is the army chief. “He makes the decision. Whatever he says is followed”, added Khan.

Since the ouster, Khan has been blaming the institution for removing him from power, naming ex-army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa multiple times in public.

On March 3, the PTI chief said that he is ready to hold talks with the COAS for the sake of the country, claiming that the army chief considers Imran his enemy.
