PTI chief Imran Khan has accused the government of bringing changes to the Pakistan Army Act for "its personal benefits".

In an address via video link today, he said that all the appointments made by the coalition government were taken in the view of personal benefits. "Hence, I feel that by making changes to the army act, they will harm institutions for their own interest."

Imran also slammed PM Shehbaz for consulting PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif over the army chief's appointment, saying that a convict could not take important decisions for the country.

"This is a very important time for Pakistan and all its decisions should be taken on merit," he stressed.
