NEW DELHI: Former
Pakistan
PM
Imran Khan
on Friday owned up to the '
anti-military
' posts he made comparing the current
political situation
of the country to the
fall of Dhaka
in 1971. However, the jailed PTI leader disassociated himself from the accompanying video saying that he was unaware of its contents.
Speaking to the reporters, Khan expressed regret for his previous remarks about Mujeeb, acknowledging that at the time he had not yet read the Hamoodur Rehman Commission Report.
He said that the report held Yahya accountable for carrying out actions that led to the fall of Dhaka, the Dawn reported.
He further said that the report had emphasized two goals -- assigning blame for the fall of Dhaka and proposing measures to ensure that similar errors could not be repeated.
Highlighting Pakistan's economic woes, Khan saidthat the nation was experiencing the same thing over and over again, to the point that the economy was on the edge of collapse. He asserted that the PDM government's changes to the accountability law cost the national exchequer Rs. 1,100 billion, and a nation already "on its knees" could not sustain such a loss.
“Every Pakistani should study the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report and get to know who was the true traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” the post read.
The posts, which included a video comparing the military leaderships of General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was uploaded on May 26 by Imran's social media team.
