Imran Khan

Imran Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and former prime minister, charged the Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government on Wednesday with plotting a conspiracy to pit his party against the Pakistan army.

Speaking to his party's members and supporters via video link on Wednesday, Imran claimed that the coalition government is planning to have the largest party in the nation engage in an armed conflict with the army.

He continued, "It is being done as part of a plan, and they want to create the image that PTI is anti-army."

"India used to claim that Imran Khan was an army puppet, yet during our government, the army and government worked closely together."

He claimed that PTI workers had unearthedthe nation's defamation campaign.

"After the Mumbai attacks, Asif Ali Zardari stated that the DG ISPR should be dispatched to India. On the other hand, as per Dawn Leaks, Nawaz Sharif said that the ISI was linked toterrorism in India," he added.

Imran claimed that Nawaz Sharif even invited Indian prime minister Narendra Modito his granddaughter’s wedding. "These folks accuse us of betraying them. They have a tonne of corruption charges and all of their money is abroad, yet they still identify as patriots."

"They are currently trying to lure us into a battle by running a campaign against the army and us. The ECP's case against forbidden funding was their first move to destroy the party."

According to the PTI chairman, his party is the only one in Pakistan to have started political funding there.
