The countdown for pakistan army Chief General Asim Munir has begun! America has made such a decision that the air will become tight.
US lawmakers have demanded sanctions on pakistan army Chief General Asim Munir under the Global Magnitsky Act, which includes harassment of imran khan and political opponents.
Pakistan army Chief Asim Munir
A big step has been taken in the US regarding pakistan army Chief General Asim Munir. US lawmakers Joe Wilson and jimmy Panetta have introduced a bill called the 'Pakistan Democracy Act', which demands sanctions on General Munir under the Global Magnitsky Act. This bill demands sanctions on General Munir and other Pakistani officials for harassing political opponents including Imran Khan.
If this bill is passed, then within the next 180 days, General Munir can be banned. This will ban him from coming to America and his American visa can also be stopped. The Global Magnitsky Act was made against russia in 2012 during the obama administration, and now it can be used against the army Chief of Pakistan.
US stance on Imran Khan
This bill demands the release of Imran Khan. Since Imran Khan's arrest in august 2023, US lawmaker Joe Wilson and many others have considered imran khan a political prisoner. Wilson has asked the US administration to put pressure on the Pakistani army so that imran khan can be released. However, the US State Department has clarified that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of any other country, but if Imran Khan is released, there may be a big change in the political situation of Pakistan.
Sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act
The demand for sanctions on General Asim Munir under the Global Magnitsky Act has brought a new twist in the political situation of Pakistan. If this bill is passed and imran khan is released, the political crisis in pakistan may increase further, which will increase the pressure on Shahbaz Sharif's government.
