January 05, 2018
ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Friday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s press conference earlier today was upon the directions of an unknown 'puppeteer'.
The state minister said that the media talk revealed who was pulling the strings of the PTI chief.
“Imran is mentally challenged and acting upon unknown person’s directions,” said Marriyum.
She claimed that Imran is similar to a puppet and a hurdle in Pakistan’s progress, fulfilling directives 'from overseas'.
The state minister said that when former president Pervez Musharraf ‘was selling Pakistanis for US dollars, Imran was standing besides him’.
“Imran needs to explain why he supported Musharraf’s post-9/11 policy,” she said.
Imran, Zardari scared of elections: Talal Chaudhry
Meanwhile, PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry said that Pakistan People’s Party Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari is manipulating Balochistan Assembly lawmakers to deviate them from the party and change their loyalties.
He said that Imran Khan and Zardari both are running away from the Senate and General Elections. He said that the two party leaders are scared of defeat.
Talal said that only former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N can give an adequate response to the US allegations.
Earlier today, Imran Khan criticised the incumbent government after the United States cut military aid to the country and questioned why was the prime minister not active in handling the situation.
The PTI chief alleged that country's leadership is itself portraying a negative image, hence, why "would the US be any different".
He added that the Sharif brothers are belittling the country to save themselves and their ill-gotten wealth.
Imran added that to blame Pakistan for failures in Afghanistan was a travesty of justice.
"I have always said this is not our war, we were dragged into it for money and now it has become our war," stated the PTI chairman.
