ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar said that a terrorism case against former Prime Minister Imran Khan is a big joke. While talking to media here, Secretary General of PTI Asad Umar said that Imran Khan has not committed terrorism. “What should he be sorry for? Do you think Imran Khan is a terrorist,” he questioned.

He further said that this case has been filed by police and “imported government”. He said that “terrorised government” is conspiring against Imran but its wish will never be fulfilled. “There is no need of law, everything has been discussed, Imran Khan has been included in investigation,” he said. Former Finance Minister in his tweet said that incumbent government is crushing its political rivals and independent journalists.

Asad Umar said that Pakistani bond prices in global markets collapsing. This is scary as it’s happening after International Monetary Fund board approval and release of tranche. He also said that markets believe Pakistan has high risk of default even after IMF approval.
