Asif says Imran is bowling no-balls with his statements

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Defence Khwaja Asif has said that the statements of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan are “no balls” which do not even count as statements.

Referring to the statement of PTI chairman regarding the separation of North Waziristan Agency from Pakistan, Khawaja Asif said that Imran Khan should adopt a positive approach to politics rather than getting cheap popularity through propaganda.

Rejected accusations leveled by the PTI chairman that provinces were not being treated equally, Asif said that the nation was well aware of the fact that the government was undertaking development projects across Pakistan uniformly.

"The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government does not believe in provincial bias," he said.

The defence minister said that realism and patience should be exercised in politics.
