PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said his fight is not against security agencies but one man — the army chief — because of whom the “army is getting maligned”.

He is seen making this statement in a video shared by journalist Murtaza Ali Shah on Twitter, wherein a journalist is heard saying: “It seems, ultimately, though it’s you versus the security agencies [unintelligible] as well.”

To that, Imran replies: “It’s not the security agency, it’s one man — the army chief.

“There is no democracy in the army. The army is getting maligned by what is happening right now — and sadly the events that have happened when I was inside, I only found out afterwards — the army is getting maligned because of one man.”
