Pakistan’s ISI chief Lt Gen Nadeem Ahmed Anjum said on Thursday that Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa was given a “lucrative offer” in March by the then government amidst the political turmoil, as the powerful top spy launched a veiled attack on ousted premier Imran Khan at an unprecedented press conference.
“I am aware that you are surprised by my presence,” Lt Gen Anjum told reporters in the first-ever media interaction by any ISI chief in Pakistan’s history.
The press conference came as the country was grappling with different versions about the killing of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya and indirect allegations against the armed forces.
