Umar Cheema, a senior investigative reporter for The News, recently stated on Geo News, “We are not ready to believe that a person [General Bajwa] is speaking the truth under oath, but are still discussing the words of a person [Imran Khan] who has a track record of lying and running away.”
Cheema was talking about a recent report that former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Bajwa took an oath on the Holy Quran that he did not conspire against Imran Khan.
“All those parties which are considered very close to the establishment did not get any clear dictation whether they should vote for or against then Prime Minister Imran Khan in the 2022 Vote of No Confidence (VoNC) against him,” Cheema pointed out.
According to the reporter, the [establishment] way of pressurising and harassing is well known which was absent during the VoNC.
Moreover, he commented that Bilawal Bhutto asserted, “General Bajwa informed me that Imran Khan is prepared to dissolve the assembly if the Vote of No Confidence is withdrawn.”
Umar Cheema said that if he [Gen Bajwa] did conspire against Imran Khan then he would have no need to tell this to Bhutto.
