ISLAMABAD: Former governor of Sindh and leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Muhammad Zubair, has recanted his earlier assertion and stated that he does not possess reliable information regarding the purported meeting between Nawaz Sharif and General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the former head of the army.
The former PM’s and his daughter Maryam Nawaz’s spokeswoman made it clear in an interview with The News on Monday that the remarks he made about the aforementioned meeting were merely conjectured and not anything he could have said while testifying.
He clarified that by discussing the rumors that were going about at the time, he was answering a hypothetical inquiry.
Zubair emphasized that he had also stated on the talk show that he was unable to verify the rumored meeting between Nawaz and Bajwa.
He did, however, argue that the then-military establishment supported the April 2022 vote that overthrew Imran Khan’s administration.
According to official sources, General Bajwa made four trips to the United Kingdom during his six-year tenure as army chief. It was speculated that the Nawaz-Bajwa meeting had occurred in London a few months prior to the removal of Khan’s government in April 2022 due to a vote of no confidence.
Bajwa did, however, make his final trip to London prior to April 2022 in June 2019, which was more than 2.5 years sooner.
