پہلے میمو گیٹ میں حسین حقانی جیسے غدار، پھر ڈان لیکس کے ذریعے غداری اور اب چوری بچانے اور آج بری طرح ہارنے کے بعد فوج کےخلاف ہرزہ سرائی کرنے لگے۔جہاں فوج کے جوان اپنی جانیں قربان کر رہے ہیں وہاں یہ بے شرم اسی فوج کو بدنام کرتے ہیں۔ اب صرف افسوس نہیں، ایکشن کا وقت ہے۔ https://t.co/UyX6HLlIDn

News anchor Moeed Pirzada also strongly criticised the remarks of Hasil Bizenjo about national institutions. In his tweet, he said, “Hasil Bizenjo’s comments understandably reflect his frustration & defeat! Senator forgot that he himself represented a move, an evil design, and PTI govt had every right of defeating a political move through politics of it’s own. Why not identify those who didn’t support?”
