Legal action to be taken against Imran’s anti-state speech in Abbottabad: Shehbaz Sharif

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has termed Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s address in Abbottabad a grand conspiracy against Pakistan.

In a statement, the prime minister said those concocting a narrative against national institutions were the real Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq.

He said the state of Pakistan, constitution of Pakistan, and the respected institutions of Pakistan were challenged by Imran Khan in Abbottabad on Sunday. He assured that legal action would be taken against him.

Shehbaz said what Imran was doing could only be categorised as a conspiracy not politics and the conspiracy was not against any political rivals but against the country.

“Pakistan cannot be surrendered and compromised over one person’s ego, arrogance, and blatant lies. Imran first conspired to destroy economy of the country and is now planning to trigger civil-war in Pakistan”, he said.

The PM pledged that the nefarious designs of Imran would be crushed at all cost. Imran was this era’s Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq who wanted Pakistan to face the same fate as Libya and Iraq, he added. Imran incidentally also had a fake certificate of Sadiq, like Mir Sadiq, he said.

He said that Imran was digging holes in the very boat he was riding and biting the hand that fed him. The people of Pakistan, the constitution, and the institutions of Pakistan were not slaves of Imran Niazi, nor could he hold them hostage, he lambasted. He slammed Niazi’s speech and said Imran would not be allowed to become the Hitler of Pakistan.

Imran had lied to the nation all this time, it’s about time he faced the truth, he said.
