ISLAMABAD: Special Adviser to Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah dismissed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Chairman Imran Khan's message to Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir as an attempt to escape from his current predicament.
In interview with private TV channel, Sanaullah said that Khan's message, delivered through )Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders from Adiala Jail, carried no weight. "Statement of Khan has no importance.
No one will believe it; they are making trap to find way out for themselves," Sanaullah said. Sanaullah elaborated on government's position, asserting that Khan had lost credibility after admitting to calling for protests outside GHQ. "Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan himself has admitted to calling for protest outside GHQ, so his statement has no significance. No one will believe it," he reiterated.
He slated Khan's recent message as tactic to deflect attention from his and PTI's missteps. He highlighted party's continuous propaganda against Army and its leadership, specifically referencing events of May 9 and subsequent actions. "Imran Khan's message has come out after long time, and PTI's propaganda against Army Chief and Pakistan Army is not hidden from anyone." He emphasised that government would not allowPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to complete any agenda through such manoeuvres. "They are doing some things because they think they will complete their agenda or bring it to fruition." "They are making trap so that somehow they can find way out for themselves, but they will not succeed," he said.
