PML-N Vice President Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has alleged that the PTI’s long march to Islamabad has no other purpose than former prime minister Imran Khan attempting to influence the next army chief’s appointment.

Speaking in Jhelum, Abbasi said: “Imran has done nothing but utter curses for the last six months.”

He claimed that Imran had threatened to enter Rawalpindi on November 26 just when the appointment of the army chief was about to be decided. “Only the prime minister has the right to this decision,” Abbasi added.
