PARIS – Several political activists and journalists came to former Pakistan Army Chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa’s defense for exhibiting composure in the face of heckling in France.

The former four-star general is currently vacationing in Europe, months after he stepped down from the coveted role, and in one such development Gen (r) Bajwa faced harassment and heckling.

General (r) Bajwa was heckled and abused in the French city of Annecy on Sunday when he was sitting with his wife during a family vacation. An Afghani man approached Bajwa, filmed him with a mobile phone, and abused him.

The man’s identity remained under wraps however, he was believed to be an Afghan citizen who harassed former military chief. Gen Bajwa, who maintained his cool, warned the man about potential police action but he refused to step back while hurling abuses.

He slammed the former army chief for rights violations, and aiding the Taliban to takeover Afghanistan.

The man was apparently brainwashed by social media campaigns aimed to malign Pakistan’s armed forces.

As the disgraceful clip appeared in Twitter’s trending sections, revered journalists and activists condemned the incident.
