ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb alleged on Thursday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was a threat to the national security and employment in the country, ARY News reported.

While addressing a press conference today, Marriyum Aurangzeb said that they will pray for Imran Khan to choose the right path. She said that it was not the time for doing politics but Imran Khan was continuously levelling baseless allegations.

Aurangzeb said that it was enmity to the country by creating hurdles to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme. She asked the PTI chief to visit flood-affected areas in Rajanpur or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) instead of levelling false allegations after failing to prove his claims true during his four-year tenure.
