Hours after MQM-P announced its departure from the government, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said Wednesday that Prime Minister Imran Khan met the military leadership of the country twice, adding that the Pakistan Army is responsible for the national security of the country, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a press conference alongside Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communications Shahbaz Gill, Fawad said the ruling PTI respects the military leadership.
Taking a jibe at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Fawad said that the former prime minister had a problem as he tried to conquer institutions.
“PM Imran met the military leadership twice. No one asked him to resign neither does he plan to do so,” said Fawad.
Speaking about the letter allegedly threatening the incumbent government, Fawad said that such threats were unacceptable to any independent country.
“Imran Khan will fight for the sovereignty of Pakistan. We will present the letter before the Parliament in an in-camera session. We can share the details of the letter with the Opposition,” said Fawad.
