ISLAMABAD: The Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Imran Khan strongly condemned interior minister Ahsan Iqbal’s recent statement, in which he asked DG ISPR to refrain from commenting over state of economy. PTI chief termed it ridiculous and an attempt to weaken armed forces.
PTI Chief in his latest tweets said that Ahsan Iqbal’s unwarranted attack on ISPR is absurd because the dismal state of Pakistan’s economy is known to the world, adding that interior minister's statement is to malign Pak forces and to appease the hostile external forces.
