Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Bajwa has said that he will resign if the military was found involved in the recent widespread protests by hardline religious groups which paralysed the capital Islamabad for weeks. About two thousand activists of the Tehreek-i-Labaik and its allied groups staged protests and sit-ins, disrupting road and rail traffic.

The protest ended after the Army organised talks between the government and protesters which led to the resignation of Law Minister Hamid. There were insinuations about the role of Army in the episode after a video clip surfaced showing a senior Army officer giving money to protesters.
