Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Nasir Hussain Shah fired a fresh salvo at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder on Thursday.
Expressing his thoughts, Shah said: "The PTI founder's decision to write a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stop the financial assistance to Pakistan shows his mentality."
"This action is tantamount to deliberately drag the country's economy to the backfoot. The PTI only wants anarchy and unrest in the country," Shah said.
"The PTI has shown irresponsibility by opting to write a letter to the international lender," he said.
Shah stated: "Now is a time to take legal action against the PTI on the basis of standing against the state."
– Bilawal decides to take legal action against opponents –
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Thursday decided to take legal action against opponents for levelling the rigging allegations.
Expressing his thoughts, the former foreign minister said: "The opponents had made the claims of rigging from NA-194. I cannot spare the allegations of rigging."
"According to Form 47, I bagged 135,112 votes," he said.
"Those who are levelling the fake allegations are doing injustice to those who are voicing serious concerns about the rigging allegations," Bhutto-Zardari said.
"There is a need to take the allegations of rigging or any electoral misconduct seriously. The PPP had made a lot of sacrifices for the sake of upholding democracy in the country," he added.
