Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the allegations of Imran Khan against the army chief. In a statement on Friday, he said the statement of Imran Niazi against the Pakistan army was proof of his low-minded mentality. This statement was a confession of the mastermind of the tragic incidents of May 9, he added. The PM said this was the same mentality which levelled false allegations of his murder against the patriotic army officers and concocted false stories of cypher and foreign conspiracy. “This is expression of real intentions of the anti-state mastermind of the terrorists. This is confession that whatever happened on May 9 was done on the directions of Imran Niazi,” he added.

The prime minister said this statement was proof that Imran Niazi was behind the plan to desecrate the monuments of martyrs and ghazis and attacks on sensitive installations and buildings. His anger against General Syed Asim Munir was that he as Director General ISI was aware about the worst corruption of Imran Niazi, his wife, Farah Gogi and senior leadership of PTI, the PM said, adding allegations against the highly decorated General Syed Asim Munir who was very admired in the rank and file and was appointed on merit, was nothing but ill-intentioned. The PM said Imran Niazi was afraid of the winner of the sword of honour, Hafiz-e-Quran and honest army chief. He said this kind of cheap talk against the chief of the brave army which was fighting against terrorism was akin to support of terrorists. The whole nation stood with armed forces and the army chief, he added.
