LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has asked Imran Khan to say goodbye to politics after a disclosure by his party president, Javed Hashmi.

In a statement issued here on Monday, Punjab Law Minister Rana Mashhood said Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf President Javed Hashmi's revelations before the media that the PTI chief was working on someone other's agenda had exposed the real objectives of Imran Khan.

He said had the masses were with Mr Khan he would not have to seek support from other sources.

He demanded that Mr Khan should step down as PTI chief and retire from politics.

He said the PTI chief tried to defame the armed forces through a false propaganda that he had the support of the institution. The step, he said, came at a time when the military was fighting against militants in North Waziristan.
