Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif got involved in controversies during an interview, when he was questioned about the social media account of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Earlier, Asif claimed that Imran’s X (East Twitter) account is being operated from India. But in an interview to British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan, he said that in reality Imran Khan is running an account from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
In the interview, Hasan mentioned Imran Khan’s recent court trial, in which his lawyer said that the hearing took place on WhatsApp and the judge and Imran could not listen to each other. When Asif was asked if it was just, he denied it and said, “This has not happened. Imran Khan is running the Twitter (X) account.” Hasan retorted, “A few days ago you said that it is operating from India.”
What did Khwaja Asif say?
On this, Asif said, “What is the truth? Either he is running from jail or at least tell who is running.” When asked the evidence of the claim of running an account with India, Asif said that it is a case related to intelligence and cannot be shared publicly.
What did Asif say about Pakistan’s China-US relation?
In this interview, Asif also spoke on Pakistan-China and Pakistan-America relations. He said that the relationship with China is time-reflected and reliable, while relations with America have always been informal and trust. Most of Pakistan’s weapons supply, Air Force and submarines, are from China and China will be the most trusted strategic ally in the future as well.
For information, let us know that Asif is also in discussion for disputed statements before. Recently, during the flood, he advised people to fill water in the house in container. His social media and public statements often face joke and criticism.
