Islamabad (PTI) Pakistan’s ousted premier Imran Khan on Sunday questioned the Pakistan Army’s “logic” and said it was “shocking” that it believed the criticism of a military official was akin to defaming the armed forces.
The Pakistan Army on Saturday rejected as “baseless and irresponsible” the allegations made by Khan that one of its senior officers was among the people involved in the conspiracy to kill him.
The Army’s overnight statement came in response to an address by Khan from the hospital where he underwent a surgery in which he alleged that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Major General Faisal Naseer were part of a sinister plot to assassinate him in the same way former Punjab governor Salman Taseer was killed in 2011 by a religious extremist.
