Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif dismissed the speculation of President Asif Ali Zardari forcing President Asif Ali Zardari to step down and was aspiring to the Pakistani military head Field Marshal Asim Munir. He has issued a statement in this matter saying that these things are just speculation.
Speaking to the ‘The News’ newspaper on Friday (July 11, 2025), Shahbaz Sharif said, “Pakistani military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has never expressed his desire to become President. Nor does he have any such plans.”
There is mutual honor between President and Field Marshal- Shahbaz
Sharif said that Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, Field Marshal is based on Asim Munir and mutual respect between him and the same goal of progress and prosperity of Pakistan.
This explanation of the Pakistani Prime Minister came after a statement given by Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday (July 10, 2025). Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the malicious campaign being run by targeting Asif Ali Zardari, Shahbaz Sharif and Asim Munir. Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is considered close to the Pakistani military leadership, said that we fully know who is behind this malicious campaign.
Asim Munir is made in discussions about the proposed Sri Lanka visit
At the same time, Pakistan’s military head field marshal Asim Munir is currently in discussions about his proposed Sri Lanka visit. In fact, Asim Munir is going to Sri Lanka from 20 to 23 July under the diplomatic journey, where very special arrangements have been made for him for the royal journey.
While Pakistan’s economic condition is in pathetic condition on the one hand, Shahbaz Sharif’s government is standing in front of international lenders for financial assistance. At the same time, Pak military head Asim Munir is going to visit Sri Lanka by special aircraft. Apart from this, special arrangements have been made for their stay for the Five Star Hotel, even helicopters for visiting the island.
