Imran government in the dock of opposition due to continuous attacks
The opposition in Pakistan has also been surrounding the government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan over the continuous terrorist attacks. The special thing is that the Imran government has recently approved the country’s new security policy. On the other hand, the opposition parties allege that the recent terrorist attacks are the result of the failure of the Imran Khan government. Dissatisfaction with the security policy of the government also showed in the Parliament of Pakistan. On Friday, the opposition parties had fiercely attacked the government.
