Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that a “long legal battle” would be initiated against the former prime minister very soon. “Some actions have already been taken while some are going to take place soon. Our legal experts are examining it and they will act accordingly,” he said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Monday. The defence minister said the legal action against the former premier would be based on “cooked up cases” for political victimisation he had launched during his last tenure and added that the legal proceedings would not depict political vendetta or score settling on political grounds.

He also lashed out at the former premier for passing controversial remarks related to the appointment of new army chief, accusing him of attacking the country’s economy and defence institutions under the ‘inimical designs’ of the enemies of Pakistan. The minister said after independence our perpetual enemy India attempted to weaken Pakistan by targeting our economy and armed forces.
