He also stated that he voted in favour of the 27th constitutional amendment because of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. He dismissed any other reason for voting in favour of the amendment.
He added that India admitted defeat following a statement by the United States. “While India was initially hesitant to accept the defeat. However, the situation was ultimately ‘cleared’ by the United States President Donald Trump as he showed respect to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir,” said Abro.
