Official of Imran Khan's party calls Musharraf "a habitual liar"

Lahore, Apr 12(ANI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Information Secretary, Omar Sarfraz Cheema, has described former Pakistan President General (r) Pervez Musharraf as "a habitual liar" with "a nerve for selling ridiculous fiction as facts".

Cheema also brushed aside Musharraf's criticism against PTI Chairman Imran Khan as "a pack of lies' and 'a figment of his warped imagination".

He further described Khan as "the most credible, supremely patriotic, unbendingly honest and upright political leader of Pakistan".

"Imran Khan and his party spearheaded the struggle against his dictatorial rule for eight long years and held aloft the banner of supremacy of constitution and independence of judiciary while Musharraf was at the pinnacle of power and the so-called champions of democracy were living in self-imposed exiles," The daily Times quoted Cheema, as saying.

He went on to remind Musharaf of his own statement of August 2004, in which the former President had revealed Khan as his preferred prime ministerial candidate. (ANI)
