Pakistan News / Will Pak Army Chief Munir become the President of the country? Know what Mohsin Naqvi said

Pakistan News: Pakistan's Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi has categorically rejected speculations about President Asif Ali Zardari's removal from office. On Thursday, Naqvi termed the rumours as a "malicious campaign" and said they were baseless. Reports spreading rapidly on social media, especially on forum 'X', claimed that Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir could replace President Zardari.

What did Mohsin Naqvi say?

Mohsin Naqvi clarified in a post on 'X', "We have full information about who is behind the malicious campaign targeting President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and the Army Chief." However, he refrained from naming any individual or group. Naqvi stressed, "There has been neither any discussion nor any such idea of ​​the President resigning or the Army Chief wishing to become President."

'Information about those who spread lies'

Naqvi also underlined that President Zardari has a "strong and respectful relationship with the leadership of the armed forces." Quoting President Zardari, he said, "I know who is spreading these lies, why they are doing so and who is benefiting from this propaganda." This statement of the Home Minister is being seen as an attempt to calm the speculations which were pointing towards political instability in the country.

What is the reason for the speculations?

Recently, such reports had appeared in the Pakistani media, which spoke of tension between the government and the military leadership. Especially after the 'Operation Sindoor' launched by India, there were reports of Army Chief General Asim Munir interfering in government decisions. It is being said that General Munir wants the army to have control over Pakistan's defense and foreign policy. Apart from this, General Munir's morale seems to have increased after his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Military intervention is not a new thing in Pakistan. There have been many coups in the country before, due to which such speculations keep emerging from time to time. However, this statement of Home Minister Naqvi makes it clear that the government is taking these rumors seriously and is trying to control it.
