Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said that army had stood by government's decisions including those regarding relations with India and opening of the Kartarpur Corridor.
"If a dictator made mistakes will we always call the whole army bad? If a judge gave a wrong decision will we call the judiciary bad? If politicians looted wealth and stashed it abroad are all politicians bad?" PM Imran asked while speaking during an interview with a private television channel.
He said Pakistan's history provided the lesson and we should learn from the past that the "military's job is not to run the government. If a democratically elected government is performing poorly, it does not mean martial law should be imposed, it means the government should be improved, he added.
He said that the government has to take opinion of the military leadership related to the security issues, as army is evolved in the security related issues not in Pakistan but in the whole world every country's army is evolved in the regional and national issues of the country.
Nawaz Sharif is sitting abroad and is running movement against army, he said. He is conspiring against Pakistan, he added.
“Nawaz Sharif is playing a dangerous game and India is supporting him in the entire process,” he blamed.
He said that a convict is conspiring against the country from abroad and they would ensure that he is brought back to face the courts. The prime minister said that he would use any state institution for assistance in government affairs.
PM Imran said Nawaz Sharif was never a democratic man and joined politics through the army's support.
He said Nawaz had problems with various former army chiefs and now with Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, whom he appointed by himself.
