Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) Foundation Chairman Imran Khan has written a letter to the Chief of Army Staff (Coas) General Asim Munir, ‘who criticizes the establishment’s policies’ and calls for a review of his approach to national security and governance.
The letter sent from Adiala Prison highlights IMRAN’s concern about what he describes as a growing interruption between the military and the public, Express News reported.
According to PTI -Attorney Faisal Fared Chaudhry, who revealed the contents of the letter to journalists, Imran emphasized that the fight against terrorism can only succeed if the nation is united behind the armed forces.
Imran claimed that ‘the establishment supports those who have twice taken advantage of the National Reconciliation Regulation (NRO),’ a reference to previous political settlements that enabled leaders to avoid charges of corruption.
He also raised concerns about the country’s financial instability, the implementation of the recent parliamentary elections and the state’s actions against his party.
The letter reportedly contains six key points that call on the army chief to rethink certain policies. Imran claimed that existing strategies promote resentment among the public and expand the gap between civil and the military.
He also wrote about issues related to the protection of electronic crimes (PECA), state -led actions against PTI and the role of intelligence agencies.
PTI leaders have framed the letter as a direct appeal about a shift in politics, while government representatives have not yet responded. The military has not issued any official statement of the letter.
