He said political parties will also have to start a process of internal accountability. The ruling party senator alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Information Minister Raoof Hasan was “providing material to anti-Pakistan journalists” and was not alone but there was organized planning behind the moves. The PML-N stalwart further said that all other institutions like the Pakistan Army will have to be held accountable in the country as no one has been left out. He targeted the judiciary and claimed that former Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar was in touch with the former ISI chief [during his tenure] but denied the facts.
