If these thieves and robbers are speaking against the army chief and the head of ISI, it meant that my choice was right, Imran Khan mentioned.
PM Khan said that Mir Jafar and Mir Sdiq gave the most harm to the Muslims, they were the traitors who harmed the Muslims from inside from the own people. "Today we are seeing Mir Jafar, Mir Sdiq and Mir Ayaz Sadiq of Pakistan. We received congratulatory messages from all over the world on the issue of Indian pilot Abhinandan but now Ayaz Sadiq is saying that Pakistan release the Indian pilot due to the fear of India," he added.
The premier further said that all this is happening because Imran Khan is not giving them NRO but I want to tell the whole nation that Imran Khan will never forgive him. He said Modi government in India is the most extremist government and they are pursing the Hindutva ideology, perpetrating brutalities on innocent Kashmiri people.

Strong army indispensable for country
Imran Khan also lauded the role of Pakistan's security forces for successfully combating the war against terrorism and foiling attempts by the enemies to destabilize the country.
"India wanted to spread Shia-Sunni anarchy in the country but the Pakistani intelligence agencies thwarted these intentions of India. Pakistan is safe because of the sacrifices of the armed forces," he said.
