Pakistan Army Spokesperson Winks At Woman Journalist Mid-Presser, Sparks Backlash

Pakistan Army spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry faced significant backlash after winking at a journalist during a press conference.

Chaudhry’s response included labeling Khan a “zehni mareez” (mental patient) before the wink went viral online.

Pakistan Army spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has drawn sharp criticism after he appeared to wink at journalist Absa Komal during a press briefing. The moment came right after she questioned him about the military’s allegations against jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Speaking about allegations levelled against Khan, such as him being a “national security threat”, “anti-state”, and acting “at the hands of Delhi”, she asked, “How is it different from the past, or should we expect any development in the future?”

In response, Chaudhry added a “fourth accusation” and called Khan a “zehni mareez” (mental patient), before smiling and winking at the journalist, a gesture that quickly went viral and triggered backlash online.

“And add a fourth point: he is also a zehni mareez (mental patient),” he said as he winked.

Imran Khan’s health in jail sparks rumours

This comes as the Pakistani government barred Imran Khan’s sister, Uzma Khanum, from further meetings with the jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, saying she and others breached prison regulations during a recent visit.

Uzma Khanum met her brother in Adiala Jail on Tuesday after weeks of attempts, at a time when speculation about Khan’s health had been circulating. Both the government and PTI leaders have insisted the former leader is in good health, but officials had restricted family and legal visits in recent weeks, prompting concerns.
