Imran Niazi is playing a dangerous game. He is using tragic killing of Arshad Sharif for petty politics & going to the extent of casting aspersions on state institutions. He should be patient & wait for findings of Judicial Commission instead of resorting to baseless allegations.

The message came before the end of a visit to Saudi Arabia, where he attended an investment meeting, performed Umrah and visited the Holy Prophet’s shrine.
The Prime Minister urged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan to be patient and wait for the judicial commission formed by the government to investigate the murder of Arshad Sharif instead of resorting to baseless allegations.
On Tuesday, the prime minister had decided that a high-level judicial commission would investigate the murder of Arshad Sharif in Kenya, for which the government would request the Islamabad High Court to nominate a judge for the purpose.
He also assured the nation of transparent investigation of this tragic incident and bringing the facts before the nation.
