Bajwa: Continued premiership of ‘dangerous’ Imran would’ve destroyed Pakistan

By Monitoring Report

ISLAMABAD: Declaring that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government was dangerous for the country, former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa has claimed if its chairman Imran Khan remained prime minister, there would have been no Pakistan.

During a conversation with journalist Javed Chaudhry, who’s widely believed to be tied to the government, Bajwa claimed that in a cabinet meeting, then-prime minister Khan used a vulgar word in the Punjabi language to describe Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince.

According to Bajwa, the incident was later reported to the Saudi ambassador in Islamabad by one of Khan’s ministers, though the identity of the minister was not disclosed by the former army chief.

Chaudhry, who met Bajwa for a second time in a month, published the conversation in his weekly column for Express News.

He said he had asked Bajwa whether he had prevented Khan from resigning from the National Assembly after his ouster in April last year, to which he replied affirmatively. According to Chaudhary, Bajwa had told Khan: “prime minister! You have lost only one match, the series is still there for you to compete in.”

Bajwa said he told Khan there was a difference of only two votes between the PTI party and the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government in the parliament. He said he advised Khan not to resign from the National Assembly, citing the example of Khaleda Zia in Bangladesh, whose “entire party was virtually destroyed after she made a similar mistake.”

The retired general said he had encouraged Khan to stay in parliament and emphasised that he would have another opportunity to form the government.

However, despite having received the message, Khan did not reply, and he lost contact with him.

When asked about the reasons behind bringing down Khan’s government, Bajwa denied any involvement. He claimed that their only wrongdoing was not saving Khan’s government, and that Khan himself had wanted them to intervene to prevent its collapse. However, Bajwa offered no evidence to support his claim.

Chaudhry then asked Bajwa why he did not save the PTI government, given that he “had done so in the past”. Bajwa replied that if he had acted in his own self-interest, he would have continued to support Imran Khan and retired with dignity, bidding farewell to him.

However, he claimed he chose to “sacrifice his own image for the benefit of the country”.

Thats worked out well.

 

[Bewal Express]

So [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] se were right, this was a millitary coup by the army. So when will the ex army chief be charged under article 6 because you guys jabbered on about why the coup was constitutional? And apparently the 2 reasons given were the economy overheating( yes you read right) and IK using a derogatory term about the Saudi Crown Prince in a cabinet meeting. Based on these PK economy and constitution has been destroyed.

Waqar Malik destroyed the reasoning of this traitor. The fake Hafiz needs to realise that NS isn't God and stick to the constitution and remember his role within it.

At the end, both Bajwa and Imran left insulted.....

Imran wanted the army to intervene, he was sabotaging the country for his own seat..... THak god he became the first pm to lose the peoples confidence and was thrown out of the prime minister office

Pakistan is on the brink of disaster, the country if going down the toilet, yet you have idiots like Bajwa and supporters of Zardari,Sharifs thinking honey is falling from the sky.

I feel sorry for the people of Pakistan but I hope the default happens now. So maybe just maybe Zardari and co are hanged like the sccmm they are.

People's Confidence? Really? More like immense greed and personal gain no? Cos it certainly hasn't worked out in the betterment of those people they claim to represent. Pakistan has suffered a collapse in currency, depletion of its foreign reserves, crippling inflation and destruction in investor confidence. Shabaash in revealing yourself as an absolute imbecile

 

[Mamoon]

Giving Bajwa an extension was unjustifiable. The excuse that was sold, i.e. geopolitical situation with India is sensitive therefore we cannot afford a change in guard was hilarious to say the least.

It made the army look weak as an institution. Strong institutions are not at the mercy of individuals.

The Indian Chief stepped aside at the same time without any controversy and drama.

The COAS is the most powerful position in Pakistan even if the constitution does not reflect that. Everyone who has the slightest idea about Pakistan’s dynamics knows this.

Once you get a taste of this power it is very difficult to let go. Bajwa’s decision to not retire with dignity certainly did not go down well with the army. It creates a ripple effect and not only impacts the next in line but it affects the entire chain of command.

Imran, the biggest liar and fake this country has ever seen, claimed few years back that generals did not get extensions even during WWII because giving such extensions weakens the institution.

He was right about that, but given the hypocrite and U-turn master that he is, he felt that Bajwa remaining in power was in his best interests because he had his backing then and the other potential replacements except Faiz were not pro Imran.

Bajwa played Imran like a fiddle. He knew that he had to send Imran packing but he had to wait for his extension.

As soon as he got Imran to do what he wanted, he made a deal with the opposition and aggressively supported their campaign to oust Imran out of the parliament.

Nawaz Sharif leaving Pakistan was also part of the deal. PMLN agreed to support Bajwa’s extension in exchange for Nawaz leaving the country.

PTI supporters knew that giving Bajwa an extension was not justified, but they had to find a way to defend it because they cannot oppose their supreme leader.

Imran and his supporters got what they deserved.

let me explain the basics.

-Pakistan is a parliamentary govt
-Majority of the people voted for the other parties combined.
-PTI only got 32% votes, while the rest of the votes were casted in other parties favor. Hence the people had not voted for PTI but for other parties in majority.
-PTI govt was a coalition
-PTI never had the seats thus a weak govt
-VONC part of Pakistani constitution and Uks.
-People lost their confidence in the PM, thus, their representatives, the MNAS, ousted Imran Khan, that too constitutionally.

go to the bajwa extention thread. Look at the justification by bewal and syed and all of them. They were saying that we can do whatever we want, bajwa and imran are on the same chapter, jo okharna hai okhar lo..

Till this day, syed cant comment directly on topic without getting personal and bewal cant admit how wrong Imran was..

That thread is one of the most hilarious thread as we see weird justifications for the extention.

Except he wasnt. Latif said they were forced to take power- so tell us who forced the mafia to take power. IK offered a solution which was an election, but the mafia ran from that. So the question after this admission you guys have been made to look like total chumps because you claimed that they were neutral and we know that to be a total lie because the guy that told you, told us that he was behind a coup.

Well that's inevitable now

But even you have to get off your high horse because ik doesn't exactly come out smelling of roses he's a hypocrite himself and as a dictator like attitude as well.

It's him who gave bajwa the extension and was singing his praises.

It was him who signed up to the imf agreement and then went against the agreement with the fuel subsidy last February.

Then he wanted to be putins best mate whilst the countries umbilical cord is attached to the zionist west . Russians and Chinese don't give freebies.

He stopped cpec because he wanted to audit pmlns deals .

Bajwa is a traitor but ik is total idiot who has a habit of making suicidal decisions.

And if the there is truth that he said horrible slurs about the Prince salman then he is a bigger idiot saudi has always been a generous ally and donor to pakistan

 

[Savak]

I hope Bajwa realizes that these admissions are now part of the public record and will be used against him in a future Article 6 case. The courts have already established a precedent by sentencing Musharraf to death

Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has rejected the speculations on social media that Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir, who is on an official visit to UK, is undertaking an unannounced visit to the United States.

“There have been baseless speculations on social media that COAS is visiting USA. It is categorically stated that COAS is on an official visit to UK from 5th to 10th February in connection with 5th Pakistan-UK Stabilisation Conference,” the chief military spokesperson said in a tweet on Thursday.

IK has come out of smelling of musk- he has come out as the most democratic leader in PK history, no one under him was arrested by him that didnt have a case to answer- Bajwa got people arrested and then blackmailed them to support him( Mir Khalil ur Rehman). IK didnt punish any newspapers or TV even though we know now that they were paid to run stories against him. He didnt attack any Judiciary and obeyed court orders even though we know now that they were taking orders from Bajwa and were complicit in the torture of Gill and Swati, We know now that criminals were jailed and released by Bajwa.
As you are economically illiterate like Bajwa, i dont have the time to give another lesson. So learn some basic facts before you talk economics to me, start with basics and then work you way up to me. You and your ilk are humiliated today, all the talk about the constitution laid bare by a confession of a criminal.

Former prime minister Imran Khan has called for an internal military inquiry against former army chief retired General Qamar Javed Bajwa for his alleged “admission” about being involved in the PTI government’s ouster.

In an interview with Voice of America Urdu aired on Friday (today), Imran once again said: “The PML-N, PDM (Pakistan Democratic Movement) and the establishment are all standing on one side … they all together removed our government and Gen Bajwa has admitted to the regime change since he has given his statement to a journalist about for what reasons the government was removed.”

Imran claimed that policies set in place by the former army chief were still continuing.

The Bajwa confession has made it even less likely that the establishment will ever allow a fair elections because the whole of the top brass( both present and retired) would have to face article 6.

PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said the allegations levelled by PTI chief Imran Khan against former army chief retired General Qamar Javed Bajwa were about violations of the Constitution, suggesting that the ousted premier could pursue his claims legally under Article 6 — high treason — against the former military head.

Abbasi made these remarks on Dawn News programme ‘Doosra Rukh’, which will air at 7pm today. The remarks from the ex-PM come a day after the PTI chairman called for an internal military inquiry against Bajwa for his alleged “admission” about being involved in the PTI government’s ouster.

The general’s version was published in a column by Javed Chaudhry recently, in which he termed the PTI “dangerous for the country” and that graft cases against Imran-era finance minister Shaukat Tarin were quashed with then-DG ISI Faiz Hameed’s assistance.

The former PML-N stalwart said Article 6 was clear about the alleged violation of the Constitution. It states: “Any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or holds in abeyance, or attempts or conspires to abrogate or subvert or suspend or hold in abeyance, the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason.”

Very very interesting..the mood is shifting against the establishment

 

[SalimBhai]

Nothing will happen to a military man.

 

[MenInG]

Former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan has once again lashed out at former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, claiming the later was calling was the shots while he was at receiving end of all criticism as the prime minister.

“He was a super king. He was above everyone. He was controlling NAB and no one could be held accountable without Bajwa's nod,” he said while addressing supporters via video link from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore on Sunday.

The former premier, who was ousted from power via the opposition’s no-trust motion in April last year, said his government could not execute any policy if the military establishment did not agree to it.

"I was the punching bag while they [establishment] had absolute power. Bajwa took credit of all good things while we were blamed for everything that went wrong,” he said.

Also read: ‘Bajwa admitted he brought down PTI govt’

Imran also accused the former army chief of protecting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif from accountability.

“The money laundering case against Shehbaz Sharif could not proceed because Bajwa did not want it,” he said.

Referring to a recent article based on the former army chief's interview, Imran said everyone already knew that General retired Bajwa had toppled his government but "I did not expect that he would have admitted to this".

Holding the ex-army chief responsible for economic and political crises, Imran said, "This happens when decisions are taken behind closed doors by one man who enjoys absolute power."

Imran blames security forces for rise in terrorism

Earlier in an interview with Voice of America, the deposed prime minister placed the blame on the "negligence" of the country's security forces for the resurgence of insurgency in the country.

Pakistan has experienced an uptick in attacks since the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) called off the ceasefire in November that had been in place since June last year and ordered its militants to stage terrorist attacks across the country.

As talks with the TTP collapsed, a fresh wave of terrorist incidents was witnessed across the country.

Glimpses of the outlawed group’s resurgence were witnessed in Swat and more recently in Bannu. This fresh wave of terrorism has put Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and its recently merged tribal districts in the spotlight as its populace will be amongst the worst affectees next year if the TTP and other militant groups, like the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), are not dealt with.

In an interview with Voice of America, the PTI chief maintained that the blame for the lapse in security lay primarily with the security forces.

He said that while his government was sent packing after a vote of confidence last April, the "threat [of terrorist attacks] grew and it's possible that they regrouped, but then where were the Pakistani security forces? Where were intelligence agencies? Could they not see them [re]grouping? So, the problem is, how could we be held responsible for their negligence?"

He also stressed the need to improve ties with Afghanistan to ensure cooperation between the two countries.

"Whatever government is in Afghanistan, Pakistan must have a good relationship with them. I tried my best with the Ghani government … because our interest is that having a good relationship with the government in Kabul means that we have a 2,500-kilometer border with them. Which means that if there are problems of terrorism, then they will help us."

It may be noted that both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto have disagreed with Imran's stance.

In a Cabinet meeting earlier this month, the PM slammed his predecessor for his lenient approach towards the TTP by "regarding the terrorists as ‘Jihadis’ and letting them return to the country".

Meanwhile, on another occasion Bilawal stated that the “policy of appeasement towards the Taliban has created problems for the people of Pakistan”, adding that the past approach was done away with by his government.

Taking a dig at the foreign minister, however, Imran said "you know, what is disturbing is that our foreign minister, he's spent almost all his time out of Pakistan, but he's not paid one visit to Afghanistan.

"I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but do we want a repeat of what happened to Pakistan from 2005 onwards to 2015, where Pakistan was going under, suffering from terrorism all along the Afghan border? I think we are not in a position to have another war on terror. And the only way is to somehow get Kabul to work with us so that we can jointly deal with this issue."

'The luxury of moral stances'

The PTI chief confirmed during the course of his interview that the difference in his moral positions in the case of Uyghur Muslims in China and the persecution of Muslims in Kashmir and Palestine could be explained by the difference in "political consequences" tied to them.

On this, Imran said that a prime minister's main responsibility "is his own people. So, you do not want to make moral statements about other countries, which would affect the lives of your population".

"I'd give you an example. We were told to take [a] position on [Russia’s war in] Ukraine. We decided to stay neutral. India decided to stay neutral, biggest strategic partner of the US. Why? Because India sensibly thought about its own people. It got oil from Russia at 40 per cent discount. So, by actually taking sides, you can actually affect the lives of your own people."

"My responsibility as a prime minister was the 220 million people of my own country, and it's exactly what the Western countries do, they don't take positions when it hurts their economic interest. Kashmir — the United Nations Security Council has passed resolutions on Kashmir, a disputed territory. India took over Kashmir unilaterally. No response from the Western countries because it is a strategic partner. So, countries like us who have large populations that are hovering around the poverty line, we at least do not have the luxury of making moral statements."

'US not behind ouster'

During the interview, the former prime minister also spoke about his allegations about the US involvement in a "conspiracy" that ultimately led to his ouster saying that based on the information he has received, he no longer held the superpower to have planned to topple his government.

"Whatever happened, now as things unfold, it wasn't the US who told Pakistan [to oust me]. It was unfortunately, from what evidence has come up, [former COAS] General Bajwa who somehow managed to tell the Americans that I was anti-American. And so, it [the plan to oust me] was not imported from there. It was exported from here to there."

In response to another question, Imran maintained that Gen Bajwa "had a very close relationship with Shehbaz Sharif, the current prime minister. And, for some reason, he conspired, and this regime change took place."

Everything that every PTI fan was denying now IK is saying that’s what happened during his rule.

The above article honestly deserves its own thread coz he believes its not USA that initiated but Establishment..

 

[Savak]

Looks like the establishment is getting very frustrated and desperate to get the Saudis to do something to block, eliminate IKs path.

Assuming the Saudi episode is true, why would the ex COAS make the episode public to the entire world? Are these guys ever held accountable for anything?

 

[Savak]

Bajwa hired Hussain Haqqani to lobby against IK to the US administration.

Hussain Haqqani had been ranting against Pakistan and the Pakistani army for almost a decade but he conveniently changed his stance towards Pakistan and the Pakistani army from 2021 onwards.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

So Bajwa punished IK because IK used a vulgar word for MBS, and someone from that meeting went to Saudi embassy and tattletale, which scared Bajwa that Pak will now be destroyed?

Or was it MBS who ordered Bajwa to remove IK or else no more petrol?

lol man, this is funny.

By the way, some people allege that Maryam Nawaz has Bajwa’s nude video -

This is Comedy Central.

 

[Savak]

Apparently General Bajwa was promised another 3 year extension after Nov 30, 2022 in exchange for supporting the PDM against PTI in the VONC by Shahbaz Sharif. IK when he found out offered Bajwa a one year extension but Bajwa was very confident that PML N would honor their commitment with him, he turned IK and PTI's offer down and supported the PDM in the VONC.

By August 2022 Bajwa realized that Nawaz Sharif was putting his foot down that he will not be offered an extension at any cost and will be replaced by a more trust worthy and friendly PML N army chief appointee, he desperately tried to plead with the US to put pressure on the PDM administration to offer him an extension but the American's were not interested.

Bajwa is very bitter against the PDM and Nawaz Sharif and has been complaining to his close circle about how Nawaz Sharif back stabbed him and did not honor his agreement, commitment with him and now Bajwa is bitterly trying to get revenge against the PDM by his revelations in conversations with close journalists. PML N has sent a warning to Bajwa to stay put in Dubai and to stop commenting against the PDM otherwise they will waste no turn to initiate treason, court martial proceedings against him.

One of the rare good things Nawaz Sharif did. He dumped this snake like a unusable contraceptive.

Well Done NS for humiliating a fellow crook. Both have suffered absolute humiliation in their own life time and Bajwas humiliation for betraying the PK is all the sweeter.

Strange that you are wasting time worrying about "pti social media conspiracy" - enjoy the "better" Pakistan under PDM.

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Just read the OP for the first time today. A senior authority at establishment level actually cited Imran using a naughty word for MBS as the reason the govt had to be dissolved?!?
