Pakistan Army Disputes Interview Claims, Imran Khan Receives Bail
The Pakistan Army denied that the army chief, Asim Munir, gave an interview where he talked about politics.
A journalist had written about an interview where Munir seemed to comment on political reconciliation, possibly referring to Imran Khan.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan was granted bail in some cases related to violence, which his party celebrated.
However, he is still in jail for another case.
The army is also dealing with floods and clashes with militants in different parts of Pakistan.
DG ISPR denied an interview with Field Marshal Asim Munir, refuting remarks attributed to him by a journalist.
The journalist, Sohail Warraich, claimed Munir spoke in Brussels about political reconciliation and Quranic verses.
Imran Khan was granted bail in eight cases related to May 9, 2023, violence.
PTI leaders celebrated the bail decision as a sign of hope and proof of Khan's innocence.
