Businessmen that called on COAS were involved in toppling PTI govt

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday the establishment was calling the shots in the country.  

He said the businessmen who called on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir were involved in toppling the PTI government, adding that they prioritised their profits over anything else. “They also used to do the same when retired Gen Bajwa was the chief," he added. Their backgrounds, he said, must be investigated.

He claimed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar were not powerful enough to do anything as the establishment was calling the shots in the country. 

Earlier, COAS Gen Asim Munir had assured the business community that Pakistan had averted the default and it would soon witness economic turnaround at a meeting with top businessmen of the country, also attended by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
