President Alvi denies reports ex-COAS Bajwa assisted PTI, Senate

President Dr. Arif Alvi dismissed a report published in “The News” quoting him as saying former army chief Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa assisted the PTI during the 2018 general election and in the Senate as “self-concocted.”

The news was published in The News, Pakistan, in which the newspaper claimed that Alvi told journalists, businessmen, and foreign diplomats during a dinner on Saturday that “Gen Bajwa and his staff” assisted PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Senate and elections.

Today’s statement indicated Alvi was aware of the “misattributed” statement. “The assertion is distorted and self-concocted,” it continued.

According to The News, when asked about the deteriorating relationship between the PTI head and Gen Bajwa, Dr Alvi said he is still looking for a solution.

The president indicated it was likely around October 2017 and April or May 2018.

The president was asked if he had ever considered firing the previous army leader, to which he replied, “No, I don’t think so.” Rumor.”

Bajwa and the military were accused of aiding the PTI to gain and maintain power. Sunday, Economic Affairs Minister Ayaz Sadiq requested Bajwa to clarify his “role” in “ensuring” the PTI’s victory in 2018.
