Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan accused India of trying to sabotage his party’s ‘reform movement’, doubling down on earlier claims that India’s aggressive designs along the Line of Control (LoC) were an effort to take some pressure off Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The PTI chief said that since India was aware it could not defeat a nuclear-armed state militarily, therefore, it was trying to “implode” Pakistan under a new “doctrine”.
“It is strange that whenever we start doing something, something major happens in the country,” Imran said, an apparent reference to the terrorist attack on a police training centre in Quetta the previous night.
Says tensions with India always spike when PM Sharif is under pressure
“It is apparent that India is [trying to] implode Pakistan. Under [this] doctrine, it wants to create chaos in Pakistan and wants the ongoing reform movement against corruption in the country to fail,” he said. (Agencies)
