Defence Minister Khwaja Asif has stated that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf is attempting to give a political hue to the gun attack on Imran Khan during yesterday’s long march, claiming that the initial report shows religious fanaticism behind the incident.
Taking the floor of the National Assembly on Friday, the minister said that the direction of the attack on Imran was being diverted as the party started accusing politicians and a senior officer of a state institution.
“The direction of the incident is being diverted to a point where you will not find any culprit of the attack. After sabotaging all this, they (party leaders) have tried to achieve political objectives,” he added.
Kh Asif further said that yesterday’s incident brought humiliation for us. “All the world is looking at us that what will become of Pakistan after this incident,” he added.
