Nisar said that an army will only fight firmly to its enemy when nationals support them.

While commenting over Prime Minister’s speech, Chaudhry Nisar said that he was quite surprised after listening to Imran Khan’s address. The premier should be well aware of the fact that an army always fights an enemy when nationals support them, he added.

The politician advised Prime Minister Imran Khan and its political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, to unite the nation to avoid taking such steps that distributes them. He urged PM Khan to be focused on uniting nation instead of listening speculators sitting around him.
