PDM leaders accuse PTI chief of having connections with India, Israel

Islamabad: Leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) made allegations on Tuesday, claiming that the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has connections with India and Israel.

During a press conference, Climate Minister Sherry Rehman, accompanied by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ataullah Tarar, criticized the PTI chairman, stating, "The PTI chairman never condemned the actions of terrorists."

Tarar launched a fresh attack on the embattled party, claiming that  Israel provided support to the PTI and made donations to the party.

Earlier, Sherry had also tweeted on the subject matter.

اقوام متحدہ کے اجلاس میں اسرائیل کی جانب سے تحریک انصاف کے حق میں پاکستان پر الزام تراشی شدید قابل مذمت ہے۔ نیازی اس کیمپ کا حصہ ہیں جو فلسطینیوں کے حقوق پامال کر رہے ہیں۔ اسرائیل کیپٹول ہل حملے میں ملوث لوگوں کی گرفتاری اور سزا پر نہیں بولا، کیا وجہ ہے وہ پاکستان کے حساس تنصیبات…

On other hand, Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon took a strong stance against the PTI chief, accusing him of having a “dictatorial attitude”.
