Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday vehemently condemned social media campaign psrtaining to a "murder attempt" on Chief of Army Staff General (COAS) Genera Asim Munir and expressed the resolve to crush every conspiracy against Pakistan and the state institutions.
In a statement on Sunday, the prime minister directed the relevant authorities to take legal action against those involved in such media campaigns inside the country and abroad.
"It is a clear message to May 9 planners, facilitators and handlers that conspiracy against Pakistan and its institutions will be crushed," the premier said.
He said new media campaign was a part and parcel of that abhorrent campaign, which was launched against Shuhada.
"The entire nation is standing behind its armed forces and its chief and resolved not to allow the disappointed and panicked elements to create new crises in the country," PM Shehbaz said.
Meanwhile, in a post on Twitter, premier said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief continues to engage in a vile, sinister and malicious campaign against COAS General Syed Asim Munir.
"Through such highly condemnable antics, he is only exposing himself, the core of which is defined by putting his personal interest (power grab) over everything else," the PM said.
Shehbaz Sharif said his trick of using the proxies to threaten the Army Chief of an assassination attempt has been badly exposed.
The premier said that the people of Pakistan and the political parties stand behind their Army Chief and armed forces like a rock and will thwart any attempt and conspiracy at undermining their prestige, honour and integrity.
