Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s leader Imran Khan Niazi over his “despicable” acts of maligning State institutions including the armed forces.

“Imran Niazi’s despicable utterances to malign institutions are touching new levels every day,” he said in a post on Twitter.

“His nefarious agenda is clearly to disrupt and undermine Pakistan,” he said.
