ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday took notice of a “malicious campaign” against the military in wake of the ongoing political turmoil in the country with directives to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to track down all those behind it. While chairing a meeting, the prime minister said that no propaganda against the armed forces of the country is acceptable and whoever is behind this must be brought to book.
The government has said that the media cells of the opposition Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are behind the campaign against the military in their bid to malign the government.
A senior PTI leader said that the government will go after whoever is involved in this, adding some of the social media accounts have been traced which were being done by the media cells of the political parties which are trying to create a rift between government and the military but it is not going to happen.
He said that the PML-N had a track record of propaganda and this time around it is again the PML-N which is doing all this with the help of the PPP media cell.
However, the PPP and the PML-N are accusing the PTI media cell behind all this.
