मुनीर को सस्पेंड करने के सवाल पर फंसे पाकिस्तानी रक्षामंत्री: देश सेना चलाती है या सरकार पूछने पर कहा- हाइब्रिड मॉडल से चलाते हैं

The Khwaja Office spoke on several issues including Imran Khan, America and China in the interview.

Pakistan Defense Minister Khwaja Asif said in an interview on Friday that Pakistan is being run by hybrid model. Khwaja Asif army and government together run the country with consent.

In the interview, Asif taunted America’s democracy as ‘Deep State’. During this, he also made a confused statement about the X account of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

‘Deep State’ is a group, which secretly controls the decisions and policies of the country from outside or from inside the government. It consists of intelligence agencies, big officers, army and influential people.

Read questions and answers from Khwaja Asif on Pakistan’s political system ..

Anchor- Army Chief General Asim Asim Asim Munir in Pakistan is more powerful than the Defense Minister.

Khwaja Asif- No, it is not so. I am a political activist and I have been chosen by the public.

Anchor- Defense ministers in the US can remove the top generals, but this cannot happen in Pakistan.

Khwaja Asif- The influence of the army is more visible due to the earlier military rulers in Pakistan. But there is also a ‘deep state’ in the US, which secretly controls the system there.

Khwaja Asif said- works closely with the army

When the anchor asked if there is disagreement between Khwaja Asif and General Munir on an issue, then who takes the final decision? Asif replied to this- this is not an equal relationship. We work with consent. Even if we do not agree, we still decide together. “

Asif has also praised this hybrid model in many interviews earlier. In an old interview to Arab News, he described Pakistan’s political system as ‘not ideal democracy, but necessary’. He had said that this model is doing ‘amazing’ in solving Pakistan’s economic and governance problems.

Asif got entangled on Imran Khan’s X account

During the interview, Asif claimed that Imran Khan is running his X account from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. But when the anchor reminded that he had earlier said that Khan’s account was being run from India, Asif got entangled.

The anchor questioned- You had earlier said that Khan’s account is going on with India. Now you are saying that he is running from jail. These are two different things. So what is the truth?”

Asif replied to this- either Khan is running an account from jail, or they should tell who is running it. “

Imran Khan has been lodged in Pakistan’s Adiala Jail since 2023.

Asif said- Khan’s X account is evidence of running from India

When the anchor asked for evidence for the allegation that Khan’s account was running from India, Asif said- I have intelligence information, but I cannot make it public.

Hasan again asked- If you cannot show the evidence, then why such a claim?

Asif replied- because this is true. This intelligence is based on information, but no one is calling it openly.

Hasan also questioned Imran Khan’s jail. Khan was sentenced to three years in a corruption case and his arrest has been described by UN experts as ‘illegal’. Asif avoided the answer and said- Khan will have to prove that he is innocent.

Asif described America as non -reliable

In the interview, Asif also spoke on Pakistan’s foreign policy. He said that Pakistan and America have been changing relations, but China is the most trusted ally in Pakistan.

Asif said- China is our neighbor and reliable friend. Our Air Force, submarines and most of the weapons come from China. In the past, in the past, today and in future, China will be our most trusted weapon supplier. “He described America as ‘non -reliable’ and said that Pakistan’s defense cooperation is increasing with China.
