PM Nawaz must clear his position: Asad Umar

Mushahidullah, Minister for Climate Change, in a media interview had alleged that the “former head of ISI had devised a conspiracy to remove the elected government.”

PTI’s Asad Umar in his tweets termed the denial by the government insufficient, saying if the allegations levelled by the minister proved to be true, the former DG ISI and his accomplices should be tried for “planning and encouraging an act of treason.”

If the DG ISI was actually involved , he and his accomplices…civil or military….should be tried for treason

He said if the accusations against the former ISI chief turned out to be false, Mushahidullah should be sacked from his job as the minister and ousted from the party.

if the allegation against DG ISI was false at the very least the minister should be sacked from his job and thrown out of the party — Asad Umar (@Asad_Umar) August 15, 2015

In another tweet, Umar said similar allegations had been earlier levelled against DG ISI by the Defence Minister Khwaja Asif and hence it was time this trend was put to rest.

this tamasha has been going on too long now .The defense minister has himself accused the DG ISI of being involved in treasonous conspiracy

He stressed that the prime minister should clear his stance by taking action against his ministers for levelling false allegations if he disagrees with them.

The prime minister has to take a clear stand. If he agrees with his ministers he should order action against those who conspired — Asad Umar (@Asad_Umar) August 15, 2015
