Army’s opinion is on national issues is not final, Asad Umar

While referring to the purported plot behind the fall of the PTI administration, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar stated the Pakistan Army’s position on national security issues could not be accepted as final.

During a television interview, the former minister made these remarks. “At the onset, you were asking me a question that since it is a matter of national security, the army has the final say on the issue,” he continued, “but with all due respect, I don’t agree with this.”

The PTI leader was alluding to remarks made by the Pakistan Army’s spokesperson, Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar, a day earlier, in which he dismissed Imran Khan’s assertions of a foreign conspiracy.

Maj Gen Iftikhar stated that no proof of a “foreign conspiracy” was discovered, and that the National Security Committee (NSC) participants were informed that no plot against the PTI government had been devised.

“No one has the authority to manipulate and falsify facts. For a long time, the armed services and their leaders have been the target of propaganda “He’d also added. Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, has consistently alleged that he was deposed by a foreign conspiracy.
