The decision for the appointment of the next army chief of Pakistan will be made in London, claimed former PM Imran Khan on Friday as he slammed both PM Shehbaz Sharif, who is in the UK to meet his elder brother Nawaz Sharif, and Nawaz himself.
“Today, a spectacle is taking place in London. Nowhere does such a scene takes place. Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif in London. What is the purpose of the meeting? Talks are being held on the decision to choose the Pakistan army chief. The important decisions of the country are taken abroad and by those who have looted Pakistan for the last 30 years,”he said. Earlier, he said that the criteria for the next army chief’s appointment should be based on “merit.”
“Whoever fits the merit, should be appointed the army chief.”Criticizing Pakistan’s PM for consulting PML-N supremo Nawaz, he said that he went to a house “made of stolen money” to meet a “convict” in London.
“This man was reported to have killed hundreds of people in police encounters. They are going to decide on the next army chief. No one in a developed country can imagine something like this.”
