Islamabad: Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, has stated that he harbors no political ambitions and sees himself solely as a servant of the state, according to a report by a Pakistani media outlet.
Suhail Warraich, a columnist for the Jang media group, wrote in an article published on Saturday that General Munir conveyed this message to him directly during a recent meeting in Brussels, Belgium, while en route from his visit to the United States, ANI reported.
The columnist said that Munir was reported as saying on stage at a Brussels gathering that: “God has made me protector of the country. I do not desire any position other than that.”
As per the report, Munir also "warned" India against destabilizing Pakistan's peace through the use of "proxies", and also cautioned Afghanistan against "pushing the Taliban into Pakistan", or it would be met with a response.
