Former DG ISPR, currently serving as Corps Commander Quetta Lieutenant General Asif Ghafoor mourned the murder of his brotherly friend Journalist Arshad Sharif. Since leaving the office of DG ISPR after his promotion to Lieutenant General, Asif Ghafoor was not active on social media.
However, after the murder of Arshad Sharif, General Asif Ghafoor couldn’t resist his emotions and turned his Twitter display picture black to mourn the loss of a fallen friend. Arshad Sharif and General Asif Ghafoor were close friends for years. Arshad Sharif was murdered on October 23rd, 2022 in Kenya when Kenyan Police targeted his car over false identity.
In 2019, Arshad Sharif stated his brotherly bond with General Asif Ghafoor as “Bonds forged on the battlefield last more than a lifetime.
“Life’s a battlefield, and we remain loyal to those who fight for us; those who’d die for us.”
