Imran Khan using pretext of foreign conspiracy to justify his coup: Bilawal

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday asked the Inter-Services Public Relations director general if the National Security Committee has declared the 197 members of the National Assembly as traitors and part of the 'foreign conspiracy'.

Taking to Twitter, the PPP chairman said that Imran Khan was using the pretext of a foreign conspiracy to justify his coup, adding that could the Foreign Office produce any official correspondence on the said conspiracy.
