Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Imran Khan’s speech in Faisalabad was harshly criticized by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the PPP co-chairman for “undermining” Pakistan.
PM Shehbaz Sharif criticized Imran Khan for attacking state institutions and said that the PTI chairman’s hateful words against institutions are getting worse every day.
On his official Twitter account, PM Shahbaz Sharif wrote, “Imran Niazi’s despicable utterances to malign institutions are touching new levels every day. He is now indulging in direct mud-slinging & poisonous allegations against Armed Forces & its leadership. His nefarious agenda is clearly to disrupt & undermine Pakistan.”
Asif Ali Zardari talked about Imran Khan’s speech yesterday and said that they won’t let him stir up trouble with the institutions and generals.
The leader of the PPP called Imran Khan “Fitna,” and said that Khan’s speech yesterday revealed him to the whole country. He also criticized the PTI for holding public rallies when everyone in the country was trying to help people who had been hurt by the floods.
Ahsan Iqbal, the Federal Minister for Planning and Development, said on Twitter:
“While the country grapples with the worst climate disaster, Imran Niazi continues to pollute the political space and push the country towards extreme polarisation and putting blots on all state institutions incl appointment of new COAS? What is his end game? More anarchy & chaos?”
Sherry Rehman, the leader of the PPP and minister for climate change, said that Imran was spreading hate against the security agencies without realizing it.
From London, PML-N leader Ishaq Dar said that Imran was determined to make the appointment of the army chief a political matter. “Will this person decide which chief is a patriot and which one isn’t?” he asked.
