Khuhro regrets ‘unintentional’ remarks about Field Marshal Asim Munir
Says he respects the dignity of the institution, expresses regret if they caused any misunderstanding
Sindh chapter President of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Nisar Khuhro, expressed regret on Wednesday over his remarks made about Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff, a day earlier. Khuhro stated that his statement was unintentional in its meaning and that he deeply regrets any misunderstanding caused by his words.
He held the dignity of the institution in the highest regard and emphasized that he would not have intended to drag the army into the issue. Khuhro had previously criticized Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi's remarks about the governance system and his call for new administrative units, accusing the minister of trying to "defame" the army.
The debate over the creation of new provinces in Pakistan began in July, with Naqvi calling for additional administrative units to overhaul the country's outdated governance system. The proposal received mixed support from various political parties, with the PPP and nationalist parties opposing the idea. The Sindh Assembly, however, passed a resolution rejecting any proposal to divide the province or alter its territorial limits, reaffirming its commitment to the province's unity and territorial integrity under Article 239(4) of the constitution.
