Nothing matters to PTI except Imran Khan, says Khawaja Asif
Pakistan
Asif questioned the internal unity of PTI, claiming the party has splintered into several factions.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying that for the party, nothing matters except its founder Imran Khan.
In a post on social media platform X, Asif claimed that the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is focused on forming a “release force” for the PTI founder but remains silent against terrorists and avoids attending the funerals of martyrs.
He said that police personnel are being martyred daily and some have even been burned alive, yet the PTI founder remains the party’s first and last priority, while everything else is considered insignificant.
پختونخواہ کی حکومت عمران خانُ کے لئےرہائ فورس بنائے گی۔ مگر دھشت گردوں کیخلاف زبان بھی نہیں کھولے گی۔ شہداء کے جنازوں میں شرکت سے گریز کرے گی۔ روزانہ پولیس کی شہادتیں ھو رہی ھیں زندہ جلایا جا رہا۔ مگر IK ترجیح اول اور آخر ھے۔باقی سب بے معنی اور بے وقعت ھے۔ وزارت اعلی بچاؤ نمبر…

The defence minister further alleged that the provincial leadership is more concerned about saving its chief minister’s position, while neglecting provincial matters and national security. He questioned the internal unity of PTI, claiming the party has splintered into several factions.
Asif added that despite internal differences and public criticism among party members, all PTI groups are united on one point, that the party founder should remain in jail.
