In a column published in a Pakistan newspaper, the columnist Suhail Varaich revealed that he had met Aseem Munir recently in Brussels. He wrote, ‘Munir clearly said that rumors of any kind of change in leadership are completely false. There are only those elements behind this which oppose both the government and the establishment and want to spread political chaos in the country. Munir also added that he is proud to be the protector of the country and he is not interested in any other political position.

According to Varaich, when Munir was asked questions on political reconciliation, he said that political reconciliation is possible only when it is forgiven for honesty. Although the name was not clarified, it is believed that he was referred to to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister Imran Khan in his jail. This statement shows the decisive role of the army in Pakistan politics and the increasing tension with Imran Khan supporters.
