Imran Khan accused Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir of orchestrating a false flag operation similar to the May 9th incident against Afghans and tribal people on February 27, 2026, between 2:45 PM and 3:45 PM UTC, claiming it aims to deteriorate relations with Afghanistan and provoke war to please anti-Afghan lobbies and appear as a Western 'savior,' according to a PTI official X post quoting Khan. Khan stated that since Asim Munir took charge, threats were issued to the Afghan government, Afghan residents in Pakistan were forcibly expelled in violation of refugee rights, attacks were conducted on Afghan soil, and military operations launched in tribal areas under the pretext of terrorists, as quoted in the PTI X post at https://x.com/PTIofficial/status/2027372130975756771 shared during the one-hour reporting window. The statement detailed that these policies have led to martyrdom of Pakistani police, soldiers, and civilians, asserting that peace cannot be established through such conduct, per the PTI post. Khan included the hashtag #FreeImranKhan with his remarks. No official response from Asim Munir or the Pakistani military was reported in sources from this period.
