Senator Criticises Pakistan Army Chief for Rare Earth Minerals Display to Trump (X)


During Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent Washington visit, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir presented a box of rare earth minerals to US President Donald Trump, drawing sharp criticism from Pakistani senator Aimal Wali Khan, reported Hindustan Times.

Speaking in Parliament, Khan condemned the gesture as a “mockery” and questioned Munir’s authority to display the country’s strategic resources.

“Our chief of army staff is roaming around with a briefcase containing rare earth minerals. What a joke! It was absolute mockery,” Khan said.

He compared the act to an “elite designer shop” and added, “In what capacity? Under which law? This is dictatorship. I am sorry to say this is not democracy... is this not contempt of parliament?”


Islamabad has even nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the ceasefire.
