Qamar Javed Bajwa: Pakistan’s army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa has accepted the issue of army’s interference in politics. Bajwa is going to retire this month. In his last speech as army chief, he said that Pakistan’s military establishment used to be involved in politics, but now the army has decided to stop interfering in politics.
According to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, while addressing the Defense and Martyr’s Day celebrations, Army Chief Bajwa said that rarely any army is criticized in the world, but our army often has to be a victim of criticism. I think the reason for this is the military’s involvement in politics. That is why since February the army has decided not to interfere in politics.
Criticism of Pakistani Army
Bajwa said that many sectors criticized the army and used inappropriate language. Political parties and people have the right to criticize the army, but care should be taken regarding the choice of language. Beginning his speech, Bajwa said that this is his last address as Army Chief, I am retiring very soon.
