Both Generals have also denied these allegations.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Asad Umar severely criticized Federal Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and gave a strong reply to his allegations against PTI. The PTI leader dismissed these allegations as false and stated that he challenges Asif to come on any forum and have a debate regarding these accusations. Umar also stated that if these allegations are proven true, he would leave politics for good and personally apologize to Asif and to the nation. The PTI leader stated that Asif’s allegations regarding former Director-Generals Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) General Ahmad Shuja Pasha and General Zaheer-ul-Islam’s involvement in PTI’s internal matters are baseless allegations.
Both Generals have also denied these allegations. General Pasha stated that he is ready for a complete investigation into the matter while General Zaheer-ul-Islam stated that he has always upheld the army’s discipline.
The Federal Defense Minister had previously, in the show "Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath", accused that General Pasha had been the recruitment officer for PTI and General Zaheer-ul-Islam had played an important role in PTI’s protests in Islamabad. Asif also stated that PTI officials had met both Generals back in 2012. He also stated that he has evidence which supports these accusations.
