Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that opposition parties wanted to create a wedge between his administration and the military. Speaking to reporters in Islamabad on Friday, he said he was aware of the meetings that opposition politicians had held with the country’s military leaders.
Prime Minister Khan said that the Pakistani military continued to support democracy and listen to his administration. “The opposition is not happy to see the unprecedented harmony between the government and the army and they want to create a gap between the civil-military leadership,” he said. “The army does 100% what I ask of it. The army honored my decision on different important issues such as the return of the Indian Air Force fighter pilot Abhinandan Varthaman to India, the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor for Sikh pilgrims, the policies on Afghanistan and India, etc. “
Speaking about the Gilgit-Baltistan assembly elections in November, Khan claimed that India wanted to create unrest in Gilgit-Baltistan. Without giving any proof, he said that his government and the Pakistani army were aware of India’s growing interest in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Pakistan’s prime minister also accused India of fomenting sectarian problems in the country, but did not provide any evidence to support his claim. “They want to create a sectarian crisis in Pakistan,” he claimed.
