ISLAMABAD, May 9: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said on Monday that he condemns Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s campaign against the state institutions of country.
Former president Asif Zardari, in a statement, said that Imran Khan is now attacking the state institutions because of his corruption cases and the PTI foreign funding case. The former president said that Khan is trying to portray state institutions as controversial institutions. “Imran Khan is spreading hate which will not be tolerated,” he said.
In his response to Imran Khan’s speech, President Zardari said that Imran had lost his mental balance after being ousted from power by the people through a constitutional process and an elected parliament so is now attacking national institutions.
President Zardari said that there was fear of corruption cases and foreign funding case behind Imran Khan’s harassment against national institutions, in which he was trying to make national institutions controversial to avoid punishment.
President Zardari said that in the lure of power, Imran Niazi is crossing all boundaries and the path he is taking seems to be a conspiracy against the country. He said that apart from running a trend on social media against national institutions, Imran himself was trying to provoke people’s sentiments by making false conspiratorial statements in meetings which is reprehensible.
He said that Imran Khan is harming not only Pakistan but also national institutions by spreading hatred for the sake of power which would not be tolerated. He said that due to these actions of Imran, the country has regressed instead of progressing.
The campaign he has launched to discredit and sow discord in the institutions is dangerous for the security of Pakistan and will benefit the enemy forces. He said that Pakistan Army is not only the protector of Pakistan’s borders but its responsibility is also to protect the constitution and democracy. TLTP
