Pakistan’s jailed former premier Imran Khan has lashed out at Army chief Asim Munir, saying the general was disgracing the military and sacrificing national interest to maintain his hold on power.“The country is being run under Munir’s law, and the ISI is giving it protection… He is prepared to sacrifice every national interest to maintain his hold on power. This army chief is disgracing the military just as Yahya Khan once did,” Khan said in a recent post.He was referring to former army chief General Yahya Khan, under whose regime East Pakistan witnessed a civil war, resulting in the liberation of Bangladesh.Khan’s comments come ahead of his party’s campaign against the “puppet government”, starting next month.“At this time, the senate, the national assembly, the prime minister, and the president are all unconstitutional. A sham constitutional court was created, which reduced our seats in parliament,” Khan, who has been in jail for two years in multiple cases, added. Khan said he was kept in solitary confinement for 22 hours a day and denied books, newspapers and television.
