The political parties in the federal government have issued a joint statement in response to PTI Chief Imran Khan’s latest “attack” against the institution.
They condemned Imran Khan’s statement about the appointment of the next chief of army staff (COAS) as a conspiracy against the armed forces.
Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, meanwhile, held a press conference and announced that Imran Khan will soon face the law and action will be taken against him.
Separately, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari on Monday blasted Imran Khan for his ‘despicable utterances’ and ‘nefarious agenda’ and vowed to defend the state institutions.
The strong response from political leaders came a day after Imran Khan — addressing a rally in Faisalabad — said that Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif were trying their level best to nominate “their” army chief, who will be a personal favorite.
Imran also said that if a powerful and patriotic general became the chief of army staff (COAS) he would question Zardari and Nawaz about their corruption.
