Hypocrisy of the first order.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan has no match regarding conjuring up false narratives and propagating them with unrivalled consistency. Who in the country is not aware of his narrative of thirty-five punctures on which he based his agitation against the government and when the judicial commission as a result of an inquiry into alleged rigging repudiated his claim, he admitted in an interview with a private TV channel that it was only a political statement.

He also reiterated his party's stance for immediate elections to winch the country out of the quagmire it is stuck in. Imran is trying to say that not only General Bajwa was responsible for the situation, but the new COAS is also following the footsteps of...
