In a surprising statement, Prime Minister Imran Khan has claimed to know more about the Kashmir plan of General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army. The remarks were made during an interview with a local news channel on Wednesday.
While discussing the ongoing situation in Indian-administered Kashmir, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that General Bajwa had informed him about his plan to resolve the Kashmir issue. “I know more about General Bajwa’s Kashmir plan than anyone else,” he said.
The Prime Minister further added that he believed General Bajwa’s plan was the best possible solution to the Kashmir issue. He said that he had complete faith in the Army Chief’s abilities and that he was confident that the plan would be successful.
The statement has raised many questions, especially in the political circles, as it is unusual for a sitting Prime Minister to publicly discuss the Army Chief’s plans. However, the Prime Minister defended his statement, saying that it was important for the people of Pakistan to know about the efforts being made by the government and the military to resolve the Kashmir issue.
The Kashmir issue has been a long-standing dispute between India and Pakistan, with both countries claiming the region in its entirety. The dispute has led to numerous conflicts and wars between the two countries. The situation in Indian-administered Kashmir has been particularly tense since the Indian government revoked the region’s special status in August 2019.
