Ppl call me establishment’s man: Shehbaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: The prime minister Shehbaz Sharif listed reasons why he was taking Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Syed Asim Munir along on major issues and initiatives.

It has been observed for the last few days that the COAS accompanied the PM at different occasions and ceremonies.

“People taunt me, calling me the establishment’s man. But this doesn’t bother me. Why? Because […] I did not intend to get any personal gains,”.

“We will take the country forward together. There doesn’t need to be a complete unanimity on every issue but through consultations, we will set targets and priorities,” the prime minister said at the inauguration ceremony of the Bhara Kahu Bypass in Islamabad.
