ISLAMABAD: Distancing himself from Shahbaz Gill's controversial remarks, which allegedly attempted to incite hatred within the military, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said that he should not have made such “objectionable” statements.
Talking to a private news channel Friday, he said there was an objectionable sentence in Shahbaz Gill's statement. "He shouldn't have said that," Imran Khan noted while talking to journalists and showbiz personalities.
Political analyst Athar Kazmi was also present on the video link on this occasion.
Gill was taken into custody by the police for inciting the public against state institutions, a spokesperson of the Islamabad Police said on August 9.
