Posted on 23rd Nov 2022 by rohit kumar

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the Shahbaz Sharif government are at loggerheads over the appointment of the Army Chief in Pakistan. Imran Khan wants the army chief of his choice and the government of its choice. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has threatened Imran in gestures. Asif said in the Parliament – ​​In two or three days, the letter of appointment of the next Army Chief will be issued. After that, we will see Imran.

 

Imran Khan started the long march earlier this month to put pressure on the government. In this, he was also allegedly attacked. Now he is going to hold a big rally in Rawalpindi. This is the headquarters of the Pakistan Army.

 

Army and government upset with Imran

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit was canceled due to Imran's long march. Apart from this, the central government is unable to do anything in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Because of this, not only the government, but the army is also troubling. There are also reports of a rift in the army due to Imran's statements. It is believed that the army and the government have decided to take a tough stand against Imran. Its indications are found in the statement of Khwaja Asif.

 

Asif said – The most important work is the appointment of the Army Chief. This process will be completed in 2 or 3 days. After this Imran will be dealt with.

 

threat of violence

 

Imran's long march started earlier this month. Since then there has been continuous violence. So far three people have died. Imran himself was reportedly attacked and his party claims that Khan was hit by three bullets in his leg.

 

The government feels that Imran wants to incite violence in the country so that other countries and International Financial Institutions do not give financial help to Pakistan. This is the reason why now there are signs of strictness against Imran.

 

Recently, Khan had said that the next army chief would help thieves like Sharif and the Zardari family. After this, it is believed that the leadership of the army is also very angry with Khan.

 

a most important part of the army system

Asif said- There is no doubt that the army is the most important part of our system. The present Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa will retire on 29 November. It is expected that by November 27, the new army chief will join.

 

What was expected from the MBS tour

 

Pakistan's foreign reserves are currently between 7 to 8 billion dollars. Of these, about $2.5 billion is deposited in the form of guarantee money towards Saudi. Saudi oil is also being given on loan to Pakistan. UAE has given 1.5 billion dollars. This also guarantee money. Guarantee money means that this money will remain in the treasury of the Government of Pakistan, but it will not be able to use or spend it.

 

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the Shahbaz Sharif government had said recently – Prince Salman will give a loan of $4.1 billion to Pakistan. Apart from this, Saudi is also going to help us in the petroleum sector.

 

Now Pakistan's problems have increased due to the cancellation of Salman's tour. Pakistan is not going to get any installment for three months from the International Monetary Fund i.e. IMF. Sharif also went to China last month, but did not get a new loan from there either.
