ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) leader Irfan Siddiqui on Saturday condemned an article by former prime minister Imran Khan published in the Time magazine, calling it a deliberate and reprehensible effort to tarnish Pakistan’s global reputation.
In a statement posted on the social media platform ‘X’ on Saturday, the PMLN parliamentary leader in the Senate refuted a claim in the article that Imran Khan was offered house arrest after being taken out of Adiala Jail during negotiations.
“No such any offer was ever extended to Imran Khan at any point,” he wrote. The Senate committee on foreign affairs chairman challenged the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder chairman to reveal who made this alleged offer, when it was made, and through whom it was communicated.
He accused the article of unfairly portraying Pakistan as being in a “dark era” by levelling unfounded allegations against the government, judiciary, armed forces, and other state institutions.
