During the party meeting, Imran Khan said that there were no tensions in the current civil-military relations and the army was fully supporting the government within constitutional limits.

"The opposition has a problem with the army because they (armed forces) always catch their corruption," he said. The prime minister criticised Nawaz Sharif’s diatribe against the army, saying that his statements appease India. "Nawaz Sharif is toeing India’s narrative," added PM Imran. The premier said the statements of Nawaz Sharif are according to the Indian agenda.
