The concerns were raised during the National Security Council of Pakistan's 41st meeting on Friday in Islamabad. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif presided over the National Security Council of Pakistan's 41st meeting.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, Shehbaz Sharif stressed that the curative review petition against Justice Qazi Faez Isa was based on "ill will" and meant to harass the judge.
Talks between the central government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan will be possible only if the former prime minister admits his wrongdoing and apologises to the people for all the things he has done, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said, Geo News reported.
The prime minister in a tweet said: "Disgusting smear campaign of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf against Chief of the Army Staff Gen Asim Munir, at the behest of Imran Niazi, deserves the strongest condemnation," the prime minister said in a tweet.
"The campaign against the army chief is intolerable and a continuation of the conspiracy against the institutions," he said in a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
"All political forces will have to sit together to take the country forward," the premier said while addressing a meeting held with a delegation of the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) at the PM House, Dawn reported.
Shehbaz Sharif's statement was contrary to over a dozen economists who believe that Pakistan faces the renewed risk of recession amid a deepening political and economic crisis and a delay in the revival of the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) bailout programme.
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the creation of chaos on roads is part of Imran Khan's agenda which aims at "fanning the fire of instability in the country."
Shehbaz Sharif said that the PTI chief's agenda includes spreading anarchy and chaos on the streets of the country, which will ultimately lead to "instability".
Imran Khan said the IMF agreement will only provide temporary relief as it will eventually lead the country to a major disaster as the burden of loans will continue to increase.
