The 64-year-old Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman also accused Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of being a “security risk” to the country.

“A new doctrine has originated in India which aims to implode Pakistan because they have failed to defeat us militarily,” Imran told reporters outside his residence in Islamabad before leaving for Quetta, where ISIS militants attacked a police training centre.

“...to make Pakistan descend into chaos without any reforms,” he said, adding that India did not want an inside political reform movement to succeed.

“Whenever we plan to launch a reform movement against corruption in the country such terror attacks happen,” he added.

Noting that corruption and militancy funding in Pakistan “run side by side”, Imran also called Sharif a “security risk” for the country as the prime minister was only interested in saving himself from the accountability in the wake of the Panama Papers leaks.

He went on to add that “when Balochistan Chief Minister is saying that India was involved in sabotaging law and order in the province then why does our prime minister not raise his voice on the issue on global forums”.
