ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said the nation stands behind the armed forces and will thwart any nefarious attempts aimed at undermining them.

In a tweet on Saturday, he said PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s recent statement about the Army Chief is a reflection of his diseased and obsessive mindset. He said Imran Khan has been maligning the Army Chief from day one because when General Asim Munir was the Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), he had unearthed the corruption syndicate of the PTI Chairman.

The Prime Minister said Imran Khan has admitted of masterminding the tragic and disgraceful incidents of terrorism undertaken by the PTI goons at his behest. He said the desecration of the martyrs’ monuments and attack on the national installations represent an unimaginable low in our politics.
