Establishment played role in Imran Khan’s removal as PM, reiterates Fawad

LAHORE (MNP) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry reiterated his party’s stance that the military establishment played an “active role” in unconstitutional removal of Imran Khan as prime minister through a no-confidence vote. 

The senior vice president of the PTI expressed his views while speaking on the BBC programme Hard Talk where, he said, “some of the military generals were involved” in the ouster of Imran Khan. He added that it was military versus the PTI during the no-trust vote episode. 

He lamented that stable governments were not sent packing the way the PTI was toppled. Mr Khan was removed from the Prime Minister’s Office through a vote of no-confidence in the National Assembly in April last year by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM). He emphasised the need to give a free hand to politicians to do politics. He said Imran Khan had blamed former army chief retired Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa for orchestrating plan for his removal.
