LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Friday strongly condemned the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leadership for criticising national institutions and said that for the first time in the history of Pakistan, a political leadership was targeting its own army, DawnNews reported.

The PML-N leader said that it was unfortunate that the rulers of the country were talking enemy's language and that they were busy in strengthening the hands of foes through false allegations.

He further said that the statements delivered by the PPP leaders were meant to hurt the interests of the country.

However, the people were fully aware of the maneuvers of the rulers and they would hold them accountable in every field, he added.
