Dr Firdous said that Maryam Nawaz in her tweet yesterday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan left for America along with the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa, adding that she might have forgotten that General Qamar Javed Bajwa had accompanied Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on his visit to Saudi Arabia few months ago.
