The prime minister blamed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman for political debasement in the country. The PM wrote on his Twitter handle that Imran Khan’s politics has divided the society into factions and weakened the state institutions.
He further added that the former premier victimized Nawaz Sharif in 2013 in the name of accountability. “Khan was part of the campaign to remove Nawaz Sharif from the political scene,” he alleged.
In his tweet, he further wrote that the PTI chairman was responsible for the turmoil and chaos since 2013. Moreover, he also blamed Khan’s strategy which poisoned the political culture in Pakistan.
Earlier in January, PM Shehbaz Sharif slammed former prime minister and PTI Chief Imran Khan for ruining ties with friendly countries.
He said that the former prime minister has not started any project for the people of Pakistan. The PM said that instead of showing his gratitude to China which brought $30 billion investment in Pakistan, the PTI chief levelled corruption charges against the Chinese officials thus enraging them.
PM Shehbaz Sharif termed Imran Khan the worst and most unsuccessful prime minister the country ever had. The PTI chief proved himself ungracious towards those who helped him ‘with their full might’ to take the reins of power, he added.
‘Hate culture’
Meanwhile, Advisor to Prime Minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Sunday that Imran Khan has fostered a culture of hatred and fascism in domestic politics, which may cause irreparable damage to Pakistan.
Talking to a private media channel, he said Imran Khan has tried to turn every political and national issue into a spectacle. Criticizing Imran Khan’s politics, Qamar Zaman said whether PTI was in government or opposition, Imran Khan has always shown the same attitude toward political rivals.
Answering a question regarding the upcoming Punjab caretaker chief minister, he said the ECP’s approved name should be accepted by all because this is the constitutional prerequisite.
Imran Khan wants only one of his given names to be approved, which is a reflection of his undemocratic approach, he added.

No words are enough to adequately condemn the abhorrable act of desecration of the Holy Quran by a right-wing extremist in Sweden. The garb of the freedom of expression cannot be used to hurt the religious emotions of 1.5 billion Muslims across the world. This is unacceptable.
