Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that the 'real Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq of the nation' was Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and not any head of state institution as widely perceived following his address in Abbottabad on Sunday. The remarks prompted a response from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying that Imran’s speech was “a grand conspiracy against Pakistan” and its institutions. Imran reiterated his allegations that his government was toppled through a US-backed conspiracy and local “Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq (traitors)” colluded with America for the same. Imran also lashed out at PPP leaders, saying that he will soon visit Sindh and rid the province of former president Asif Zardari. He termed the newly formed set up an “imported government” and lashed out at Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying the “decisive moment” had come for the people to decide if they wanted “slavery or liberty”.
