Pakistan Parties Condemn PTI's "Anti-State" Stance on Military

• Pakistan's political parties are backing the military leadership and condemning PTI for an 'anti-state narrative'.
• The criticism follows an ISPR briefing that labeled former PM Imran Khan a 'narcissist', 'mentally ill', and a 'security threat'.
• Leaders from MQM-P, PPP, and Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal accused PTI of undermining state institutions and national security.
• PTI countered, asserting Imran Khan's patriotism and accusing the government of mislabeling dissent as anti-state.
• PTI leaders called the ISPR's remarks 'unfortunate for democracy' and warned against efforts to sideline Imran Khan.

Why It Matters: Pakistan's political unity against PTI reflects military's power and limits on dissent.
