ISLAMABAD : Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill said Prime Minister Imran Khan has proved himself a true follower of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) by raising a strong voice against the mockery of Prophet PBUH in France besides writing a letter to the heads of Muslim states.

Shahbaz Gill, while addressing a press conference today, said that 12th Rabiul Awwal is a holy day for Muslims and it was important to respond to the recent attacks on the Islamic ideology.

He said that PM Imran Khan is a true and firm believer of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and Eid Miladun Nabi PBUH will be organised in shelter homes across the country over his directives.

Whenever the federal government stepped up the accountability process, the opposition parties stood up against it, said Gill, adding that the government had always taken the opposition and media in confidence over the matters related to national security.

He said that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ayaz Sadiq was no one to take decision about Abhinandan as it was the right of the government to make a policy on important issues. It was a false statement delivered by Ayaz Sadiq and its narrative against the country was celebrated on Indian media.

The special assistant criticised that the opposition leader was attacking the reputation of the state and defaming the armed forces just to hide the corruption of Nawaz Sharif.

He said that the opposition leaders are desperately willing to get another NRO and started attacking the national narrative. Gill clarified that Fawad Chaudhry had not given any statement against the country as he highlighted the diplomatic efforts of Pakistan.
