Imran to Sharifs and Mir Shakil: 'Do your worst: stoop as low as you can'

ISLAMABAD – "Do your worst: stoop as low as you can", Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan Wednesday told the Sharifs and Jang Group owner Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.

He tweeted: “My challenge to Sharif-MSR mafia is: Do your worst; stoop as low as you can; me & my struggle-hardened party will become ever stronger IA.”

The tweet came a day after his party MNA Ayesha Gulalai quit alleging harassment by Imran. She made the allegations at a press conference Tuesday.

The PTI on Wednesday served a legal notice on her to prove her allegations, or apologize.

Many people believe the ruling PML-N was behind Gulalai and may have persuaded her to do what she did.  

The presence of some senior journalists from the Jang-Geo Group at Gulalai’s news conference raised many eyebrows.

Their presence, some circles pointed out, went to show the media group continued to connive with the PML-N to damage PTI.

The PTI continues to boycott the Jang Group.
