Lahore: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused PTI founder Imran Khan of misleading public and tarnishing reputation of military and their families. His comments came during an address at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz General Council meeting here.

“Imran Khan, who once bowed before military, is now misleading people about Fall of Dhaka. He is defaming military and their families,” said Shehbaz.

He condemned those who conspired against Nawaz Sharif, stating, “Faces of conspirators are blackened and Nawaz Sharif stands vindicated. He was unjustly punished in Panama case with an iqama.”

He criticised Khan for his comments regarding military and national tragedies. “Imran Khan, who once sat at feet of soldiers, is now comparing himself with Mujibur Rehman on Fall of Dhaka.

His remarks in London about our martyrs and veterans are unforgivable. If anyone watches that video, they would want to silence him. These soldiers made their children orphans to save millions of others.”

Shehbaz warned of dire consequences if Pakistan’s prosperity does not return. “If Pakistan does not progress, there will be no politicians or judges left. While many judges are patriotic, few black sheep facilitated Imran Khan’s £ 190 million corruption. Khan sold gifts and watches. Judges, remember, during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure, there were no easy bails, unlike now.”

Shehbaz concluded with stern message to Khan. “I do not wish to attack you personally, but your actions against families of Pakistan’s armed forces will not be forgiven by this nation.”
