Arshad Sharif’s killing: Imran playing a 'dangerous game' by casting aspersions on state institutions, PM Shehbaz says

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that Imran Khan was playing a “dangerous game” by using senior journalist Arshad Sharif’s killing for petty politics and casting aspersions on the state institutions.

“Imran Niazi is playing a dangerous game. He is using tragic killing of Arshad Sharif for petty politics and going to the extent of casting aspersions on state institutions,” the prime minister wrote on Twitter, prior to concluding his visit to Saudi Arabia where he attended an investment summit, offeree Umrah and paid respects at Roza-e-Rasool  (Peace Be Upon Him).

The prime minister urged the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan to be patient and wait for findings of Judicial Commission instead of resorting to the baseless allegations.

He also assured the nation for a transparent probe into the tragic incident and bringing forth the facts to the nation.
