ISLAMABAD/LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned the statement of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan in which he had levelled serious allegations against the institution and the country’s intelligence agency. In a tweet, the prime minister said, “Imran Niazi’s act of routinely maligning and threatening Pakistan Army and Intelligence Agency for the sake of petty political gains is highly condemnable. His levelling of allegations without any proof against Gen Faisal Naseer and officers of our Intelligence Agency cannot be allowed and will not be tolerated.”

Meanwhile, former president and President of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday said one person has crossed all limits to defame institutions, which will not be tolerated anymore.

“The attempt to discredit institutions has exposed the true face of a man as its now enough is enough, after listening to the foreign agent’s speech, no patriot can even think of following him,” he said in a statement without naming PTI Chairman Imran Khan on his Saturday statement in which he made serious allegations against the institutions.

Asif Ali Zardari, while responding to the allegations of the PTI chairman without naming him, said the allegations against the brave and distinguished officers of the Pakistan Army are actually an attack on the institution with which the whole of Pakistan stands. “A person is fooling his innocent workers with lies and deceit, I am seeing the downfall of this person,” he said. The former president said this is the country where we all have to be buried, we will not allow one person to play with our values and our country. “A person is bent on destroying our ancestors, our children and our country, which we will not allow,” said Asif Ali Zardari.
