Imran Khan did not say army generals instigated him against Fazlur Rehman

Allegation: According to a screenshot of a Geo News report, PTI founder Imran Khan said that JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman was a good person and was instigated against Rehman by General Faiz and Bajwa.

2024 elections

According to the results released by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), independent candidates backed by the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) are leading by winning the most seats in the National Assembly. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured 75 seats, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) managed to secure 54 seats, while the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) won 17 seats. However, no political party managed to obtain a simple majority to form the government. Protests have erupted across the country following allegations of widespread fraud in the general elections, made by the PTI and other nationalist groups. With no clear winner declared, several parties have claimed government. The PPP and PML-N agreed to form a coalition with Shehbaz Sharif selected as the prime ministerial candidate. Ahead of the elections, the PTI faced obstacles with several key leaders and supporters behind bars, defections and the loss of its cricket bat symbol, which raised concerns about fair campaigning and fair play. fair game. Just a week before the elections, Khan was sentenced to three additional terms; fourteen years in the figure case, ten years in the Toshakhana case and seven years in a case that found her marriage un-Islamic.

Elimination and arrest of the Khans

On April 10, 2022, Khan was removed from office by a vote of no confidence. On May 9, 2023, he was arrested on the orders of the National Accountability Bureau in the Al-Qadir Trust case. On 12 May 2023, he was released on bail by the Islamabad High Court and returned to his residence in Lahore under police protection.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman

Rehman recently claimed that former army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and former spymaster Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed had guided political parties in the no-confidence vote against ex- Prime Minister Imran Khan and gave instructions during meetings with political leaders. Despite his initial reluctance, he eventually participated at the insistence of other parties, Rehman added.

The PTI claimed vindication after Rehman's accusations against the generals, saying it proves the conspiracy against Imran Khan. Marriyum Aurangzeb of the PML-N denied any involvement in the events mentioned by Rehman. PPP's Qamar Zaman Kaira said Rehamns' claims signaled the establishment's withdrawal of support for Imran Khan and recognized the role of the establishment as a reality.

On the directives of Imran Khan, a PTI delegation comprising key leaders, visited the JUI-F chief in Islamabad to persuade him to join the anti-rigging campaign, following alleged irregularities during the elections. Both parties have acknowledged the fraud allegations and the resulting political crisis after the 2024 election.
