Pak Army Spokesperson Slammed For Winking At Journalist During Briefing On Imran Khan

Pakistan Army spokesperson Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry faced strong backlash after a video of him winking at a female journalist during a press briefing went viral. Many social media users called his behaviour “unprofessional.” The short clip, shared widely on X, shows the journalist asking him about former Prime Minister Imran Khan. She mentioned that Khan is being called a “national security threat,” “anti-state,” and someone “working at Delhi’s direction.” She then asked how this situation is different from earlier times and whether people should expect any new developments.

In reply, Chaudhry added a fourth label, calling Khan a “zehni mareez” (a mentally unstable person). He then winked at the journalist, a gesture that quickly angered viewers and sparked widespread criticism online.
