He regretted that precious lives of the Pakistan Army, police and civilians were lost in the recent incidents of terrorism in the country.<br \/>\nAsif was of the view that no one had skipped court appearances the way PTI Chairman Imran Khan was doing. \u201cFormer Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz appeared in courts countless times,\u201d he said, and added, \u201cDespite Imran\u2019s reluctance to appear in courts, the government is exercising restraint.\u201d  The minister claimed that Imran\u2019s entire political career enjoyed the establishment\u2019s patronage. He went on to say that the PTI chairman wanted to appoint the army chief of his choice. \u201cAnd now he is begging to meet with the serving army chief,\u201d Asif said, and added that contrary to the PTI claims, the party\u2019s \u2018Jail Bharo\u2019 movement was a flop. He further said that Imran was pretending to be injured.<br \/>\nHe alleged that when Islamabad Police went to the PTI chief\u2019s Zaman Park residence to arrest him, his party leader Shibli Faraz lied that he (Imran) was not at home. \u201cThe fact is that Imran is defying courts\u2019 orders,\u201d the minister said, adding that had laid bare the real face of the PTI chairman.<br \/>\nAsif wondered that while on one hand, Imran asked his party workers to surrender to police, on the other he was approaching courts for bails. \u2014 DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Defence Minister and PML-N stalwart Khawaja Asif said on Tuesday that the government was making it sure that the Afghan soil was not used against Pakistan.
