Shehbaz demanded Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial to constitute a “full court commission” to probe the allegations levelled by Khan, the Express Tribunenewspaper reported. Reacting to Khan’s allegations against the unnamed military official, Shehbaz said the PTI chief “is attacking the Pakistan Army like an enemy”. A smear campaign is being run on social media against the military, he alleged. Shehbaz said Khan is a “liar from head to toe” and is trying his best to destroy Pakistan.
