General (retd) Mirza Aslam Baig, the former Chief of Army Staff, strongly condemned the smear campaign launched against the Pakistan army on social media on Wednesday.
Gen (retd) Aslam Baig, in an audio message, categorically denied all statements attributed to him on social media against the Pakistani army.
He claimed that some deplorable and vulgar statements about the Pakistan army and its leadership have been attributed to him on social media, which he categorically denies.
He claims that the army is responsible for his identity and honor and that he respects every soldier and official in the Pakistani army.
He told him that criticizing or making anti-army statements is unethical. He claimed that the army had recognized him and that his heart, mind, and soul would always praise the Pakistani army until his last breath.
In a speech to the youth, Gen (retd) Aslam Baig said that the smear campaign against the Pakistan army was part of the enemy’s plan and that they should not become a tool of the enemy’s plot. He urged the youth not to tarnish their own clean and pure characters by becoming involved in such a plot, as Almighty Allah does not approve.
General (retd) Aslam Baig’s statement came after a barrage of false information and statements aimed at the Pakistan army flooded social media in the aftermath of Imran Khan’s resignation as prime minister, which he claimed was due to an American conspiracy. PTI’s social media handlers are suspected of being involved in the smear campaign against the Pakistan army, and the Pakistan Army’s Formation Commanders Conference took notice of the campaign yesterday.
