PTI deplores ‘ridiculous’ allegations

The PTI emphatically deplored "ridiculous" remarks by the Pakistan military spokesperson against ex-premier Imran Khan, saying he was "not a security threat", and lamented the weakening of democracy in the country following the passage of recent constitutional amendments.

In a press conference on Friday, ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry assailed Imran for creating and spreading an "anti-army" rhetoric, stating that such narratives were now out of the realm of politics and had become a "national security threat".

Responding to the DG ISPR's accusations in a press conference on Saturday evening at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said: "Do not drive away the people of Pakistan, they stand with Imran Khan and the PTI. Imran Khan is not a national security threat. He has kept the people united."
