November politically decisive: Asif

SIALKOT: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said Sunday the month of November will be of utmost political importance as it will prove to be ‘decisive’ on political front.

Addressing a press talk in Sialkot, the federal minister said PTI Chairman Imran Khan had offered Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for deliberations over next army chief’s appointment.

Khawaj Asif said Imran Khan’s long march was getting smaller day by day and would disperse automatically by the time it reaches Rawalpindi. “I would clarify that no negotiations are taking place with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf,” he maintained.

The minister said that due to the language Imran Khan was using against the Pakistan institutions, the Indian media was giving full coverage to him. He said PTI chief had been exposed before the nation, adding that his narrative showed that he was not sincere with the public.

That was why, he added, his march was reducing in strength with each passing day. When he started the long march on Friday, 10 to 12 thousand people were with him. But now when he reached Muridke, only 3,500 to 4,000 people are part of his long march, he added.

Kh Asif said that earlier, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), then the opposition parties, used to expose Imran Khan’s real face before the nation, but now it was being done directly by top officials of the institutions.
