Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa “stabbed” him in the back.
Talking to Geo’s Haider Shirazi on camera at a court, Imran Khan said of the former army head, “I have been saying this, he stabbed me in the back.”
“People say, ‘You must have done something.’ I did nothing. He [General Bajwa] was already planning to get an extension, he was thinking ahead,” the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said.
“That conspiracy is obvious,” he stated.
Since his removal from power through a Vote of No Confidence in April 2022, Khan has attacked the former Army Chief many times in public rallies and interviews. However, the current Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lt. General Nadeem Anjum alleged in a press conference held last year that the PTI government offered Bajwa an extension in March 2022 for “an indefinite period of time” if he would save the government from being ousted.
Khan has denied the allegations.
