PTI founder should write letter to prime minister, not army chief: Ahsan Iqbal
Pakistan
Says repeatedly writing to the army chief is an attempt to drag military into politics
NAROWAL (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said on Saturday the Prime Minister’s Office was the central place for addressing political matters and if the PTI founder is serious, he should write to the prime minister instead of involving the military.
Speaking at an event, he said that repeatedly writing to the army chief was an attempt to drag the military into politics.
He stated that the PTI built its anti-corruption narrative but it was an attempt to drag the military into political experiment again.
Expressing surprise over lawyers Ali Zafar and Salman Akram Raja defending the case of 190 million pounds, Iqbal accused them of misleading the nation.
The minister highlighted that in countries like the US, the UK or Germany, politicians involved in such corruption would be permanently disqualified, but efforts are being made here to protect them.
