Imran set a bad example: Asif

Minister for Defense Khawaja Asif has said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's presence in the Prime Minister's Office was a bad experience for the entire nation.

“Imran Khan as the prime minister adopted an undemocratic attitude towards national institutions,” Asif said while talking to a private television channel on Tuesday.  He said Imran and his party's leadership used derogatory language against heads of national institutions.

“On May 9, the PTI workers and supporters resorted to rioting, arson and damaging public property and security installations. The government would take all necessary measures to punish both the instigators and perpetrators of violence,” he added.

He said the PTI workers involved in sabotaging peace and destroying public property were arrested with the help of social media. He said those would be found guilty of insulting the parliament may also be fined or imprisoned.

To another question about conducting elections in 90 days, he said it had been written in the Constitution that elections should be held simultaneously in the country. APP
