Monitoring Desk:
Taking a lead from former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary force, who called for armed mutiny against Russian forces has said that his call to action against the Russian military was not a mutiny but a “march for justice”.
It may be remembered that PTI attacked military installations, burnt down military-related buildings, destroyed monuments of martyrs, and attacked civil and military law enforcing agencies in several parts of Pakistan on May 9, 2023, in a bid to instigate army revolt against sitting civil and military leadership of the country and chairman of PTI and former prime minister Imran Khan all actions as “march for justice” and an attempt to free Pakistan from military clutches though there is a legitimate civil government smoothly at a place in Pakistan.
Like Imran Khan, Prigozhin had exceptional and excellent relations with the Russian Army in the past and had been known as one of the strongest supporters of the Russian military. Like Imran Khan, he also hired slur brigades to attack his opponents and use extremely abusive language against everybody who challenged his conduct.
Russia’s FSB security services launched a criminal probe into calls to stage “armed mutiny” after the head of the Wagner mercenary group vowed to resist Moscow’s military leadership, officials said Friday. The announcement follows statements from Yevgeny Prigozhin accusing Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of ordering a rocket strike on Wagner’s field camps in Ukraine.

Who is Prigozhin?
Prigozhin controls a private army operating from Ukraine to the Central African Republic. After the Ukraine conflict, he emerged as a public power player, using social media to launch accusations at Russia’s military leadership for human rights abuses in Ukraine. Spewing vulgarities, and disregarding the law he has become a symbol of resistance against the Russian army.
