Anti-state elements to be held accountable: Kh Asif

Sialkot: Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif says elements that remained active against security and solidarity of the country will face accountability.

Talking to media persons in Sialkot today, he said people hiding in different sectors involved in anti-state acts should be held accountable for their crimes.

The Defence Minister said former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was removed from office on the basis of fabricated allegations under a conspiracy.

He said the military institution, in a transparent trial, punished the former Director General ISI and there are still more legal proceedings to be initiated against Faiz Hameed.

Khawaja Asif said the incidents witnessed over the past few days have no precedent in Pakistan’s history.

He said Faiz Hameed misused his position to protect the interests of PTI and he also hatched conspiracy of May 9 events.
