No need of enemy in presence of Imran: PM
The PM asked what legal route did Imran Khan adopt other than hurling threats and making baseless allegations
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif came hard on Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (
PTI) Imran Khan on Tuesday for his blatant lies, vicious attacks on institutions, using religion for political purposes and bending the judiciary for his whims.
“I have no doubt that your politics is defined by blatant lies, untruths, U-turns, and vicious attacks on institutions. Bending the judiciary to your whims and behaving as if rules don’t apply to you,” the prime minister in a long tweet said.
Shehbaz Sharif pointed out that you (Imran) “in his tweet is established by facts over the past few years.”
The prime minister also put four counter-questions to
Imran Khan. One, maligning Pakistan Army as an institution is a recurring pattern in your (Imran’s) politics after your ouster from power. “Did you not resort to constant mud-slinging of the leadership of the army & intelligence agency much before the Wazirabad attack?” the prime minister asked.
Secondly, the prime minister asked what legal route did Imran Khan adopt other than hurling threats and making baseless allegations almost on a daily basis. “You refused the offer of cooperation from the federal government and boycotted the legal proceedings and you were never interested in finding the truth about the attack but used the condemnable incident for petty political objectives,” Shehbaz Sharif questioned.
Thirdly, the prime minister questioned at whose behest was the savaging social media campaign against the martyrs of the armed forces launched after the helicopter crash. “Which party did the troll brigade belong to that mocked the martyrs, which was a new low and unimaginable in our politics and culture? With these subversive/treacherous acts on your part, do we need an enemy?” he questioned.
