Imran Khan<\/a> accuses Gen Bajwa of striking a ‘deal’ with Zardari, CM Murad. Former chief of army staff General (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa had “struck” a deal with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, claimed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists, Khan continued to blame the ex-COAS for his government’s ouster. A day earlier, the PTI chief had clarified that he was not in contact with the establishment \u201cfor now\u201d.<\/p>\n

The cricketer-turned-politician had recently admitted that granting an extension to Gen (retd) Bajwa was a “mistake” and had also accused the ex-army chief of “betraying” him.<\/p>\n

As the PTI presses the government on holding snap polls across the country, Khan predicted that he sees elections taking place in either March or April.<\/p>\n

He further added that PTI’s members of the National Assembly would appear before Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf to confirm their resignations on December 26 (Monday).<\/p>\n

The government, however, has repeatedly ruled out holding early elections citing several reasons, including floods, and said polls might take place in October 2023.<\/p>\n

In response to a question regarding the political turmoil in Punjab: the PTI chief said: “We will also remain allies with the Q-League (Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid) as they have stood by us.”<\/p>\n

“I will not inflict pain on the masses for remaining in power. Once I form my government again, I will not compromise on anything,” the PTI chief said.<\/p>\n

Berating Minister for Foreign Affairs Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Khan said Bhutto scion has gone on more visits abroad than he did during his three-and-a-half-year tenure.<\/p>\n

“Also, if he is claiming that he is paying for foreign trips through his pocket, then are these his private visits?” he wondered.<\/p>\n

He mocked the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for getting “foreign funds” and “not having” receipts for them. “We have a database of 40,000 donors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
