As political volatility arose amid a flurry of opposition events, PM Imran accused the opposition parties of following the agenda of India by maligning the armed forces of the country. The premier had, subsequently, told his party members to devise a strategy to foil the moves of the newly formed alliance of the opposition parties – Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
