Pakistan’s army warn ex-PM Khan against ‘baseless allegations’ FMTNews FMTWorld
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military warned former prime minister Imran Khan against making “baseless allegations” after he again accused a senior officer of plotting to kill him.
At a weekend rally in Lahore, Khan repeated claims that a senior intelligence officer major-general Faisal Naseer was involved in an assassination attempt last year during which he was shot in the leg. Criticism of the military establishment is rare in Pakistan, where army chiefs hold significant influence over domestic politics and foreign policy and have long been accused of interfering in the rise and fall of governments.
Khan rejects those findings and insists authorities have refused to accept his attempts to file a so-called first information report with police identifying the real culprits. Khan faces dozens of charges that were brought against him since he was ousted – a tactic analysts say successive Pakistan governments have used to silence their opponents.Pakistan’s military, the world’s sixth largest, holds undue influence over the nation.
Pakistan’s economy has also been pushed to the brink of collapse by years of financial mismanagement, exacerbated by a global energy crisis and devastating floods that submerged a third of the country in 2022.
