Imran Khan also blamed the disqualification of ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers affair on Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Former Pakistani army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa’s demeanor changed after he was granted an extension as head of the army in 2019, former prime minister Imran Khan has said.

General Bajwa changed after the extension and made a compromise with the Sharif. He decided, at that time, to give them the National Reconciliation Order (NRO), Imran Khan said in an interview with a private channel, according to The News International.

Imran Khan said there were two Gen Bajwas, one before the expansion and one after.

The former Pakistani prime minister also claimed that Bajwa hired Hussain Haqqani as Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States and said Haqqani joined the office through the foreign ministry, without any information.

They met Haqqani in Dubai and hired him in September 2021, Khan said.

Khan added that Haqqani started lobbying against him in the United States and promoted General (retired) Bajwa, according to the report.

Khan, 70, was ousted from power last April in a vote of no confidence.

General Bajwa was repeatedly telling us to focus on the economy and forget about responsibility, Khan said.

Mr. X and Mr. Y asserted their pressure in Punjab and threatened our people to join the PML-N, he added.

Imran Khan also blamed the disqualification of ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers affair on Qamar Javed Bajwa.

He (Bajwa) had sent two corporals who proved that Nawaz was involved in the Panama affair. This is why Nawaz does not forgive Bajwa, he said.

He further said that the allegations regarding the Toshakhana case against him made a big deal out of it for no reason.

The claims come nearly a year after Imran Khan was ousted as prime minister, sparking a political crisis in Pakistan.
