COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa Claims Army Has No Influence on Pakistani Media

Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Qamar Javed Bajwa, has opined that the military does not impede the media’s freedom or engage itself in the harassment of journalists.

He made these remarks at a special event of a Washington-based think tank community, which was organized at the residence of the Pakistani Ambassador to the US on Wednesday.

While discussing the Kashmir issue, he stated that the Modi Government’s August 2019 decision affected the situation negatively and added that Pakistan has always sought a resolution to this issue for the benefit of both countries.

In addition, he advised the global community to engage with the Taliban Government in Afghanistan and underscored that all stakeholders must unite to overcome challenges.
