Islamabad (Web Desk/Agencies): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday strongly condemned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former premier Imran Khan's allegations against Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.
In a statement, the premier said that 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.
PM Shehbaz 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 an 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 premier 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.
PM Shehbaz said that Imran Niazi's anger against General Syed Asim Munir was that he as Director General ISI was aware about the worst corruption of PTI chief, his wife, Farah Gogi and his party's senior leadership.
Allegations against the highly decorated General Syed Asim Munir who, PM Shehbaz said, was very admired in the rank and file and was appointed on merit, was nothing but ill-intentioned.
PM Shehbaz said "Imran Niazi was afraid of the winner of the sword of honour, Hafiz-e-Quran and the honest army chief".
He further mentioned that 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.
