Pakistani prime minister Shehbaz Sharif
Amid the ongoing political crisis in Pakistan, the Shehbaz Sharif-led government is mulling a possible ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Wednesday.
“A decision has not been taken yet, but a review is surely underway,” Asif told media persons in Islamabad, Dawn reported.
This comes in light of the May 9 nationwide protests against the arrest of former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan in the £190 million settlement case.
