ISLAMABAD: Responding to PTI chief Imran Khan’s criticism on government, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Pervaiz Rasheed yesterday said that Imran Khan should go to the United States of America (USA) to stage sit-in protest against drone attacks, alleging that Khan remained silent over Taliban’s terrorism.
In a statement, Pervaiz Rasheed said that Imran Khan is that naïve friend who is harming the country. He said that Imran Khan’s bravery disappears in front of terrorists.
Federal Minister said that Imran Khan is angry because Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif raised Kashmir cause in the United Nations.
