Defense Minister Khawaja Asif Responds to Imran Khan's Claims on Ali Amin Gandapur's Disappearance

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif addressed concerns regarding the alleged disappearance of Ali Amin Gandapur. Speaking in the National Assembly on Saturday, Asif refuted Khan's claims, asserting that Gandapur’s stay and subsequent return were entirely voluntary.

 

Asif criticized Khan's portrayal of the situation, suggesting that Gandapur's actions were a matter of personal choice rather than any external influence or coercion. He also implied that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister's intentions to maintain control over the province were driven by his connections with the establishment, which he allegedly intends to use for his advantage.

 

Asif pointed to a tweet by Imran Khan as evidence of the ongoing political maneuvering and controversy. He expressed surprise at the opposition leader's speech and criticized the formation of a committee proposed by Bilawal Bhutto, arguing that the committee had lost its justification and effectiveness after the initial meeting's atmosphere.

 

Further, Asif accused Khan and his supporters of contributing to the current political climate, labeling their actions as part of a broader scheme of double dealing. He condemned Khan’s tweets and alleged attempts to communicate with the establishment, suggesting that such behavior undermines the integrity of Pakistan's politics.

 

Asif also made a pointed remark about Khan’s reputed focus on the GHQ in Rawalpindi, implying that Khan’s political maneuvering and criticisms are indicative of his broader strategic goals and affiliations. He expressed skepticism about any potential resolution stemming from the path Khan and his supporters have taken, suggesting that their true intentions have been exposed.

 

In conclusion, Asif called for respect for the parliamentary process and suggested that the committee formed to address these issues should be evaluated critically. His remarks underscore ongoing tensions and the complex interplay of political interests and power dynamics in Pakistan.
