The Leader of the Opposition in Pakistan's National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday asked the army chief and the head of the ISI to present evidence before the Supreme Court whether the Opposition leaders have committed treason as alleged by Prime Minister Imran Khan. Sharif made the demand to Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and the Director General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant General Nadeem Ahmed Anjum following Khan's repeated claims that there is a "clear nexus" with a foreign state to bring about a change of government in Islamabad. The powerful Army was apparently caught in the verbal cross-firing between Prime Minister Khan and the combined opposition over the “threatening letter” related to a “foreign conspiracy” to topple the government led by the cricketer-turned-politician. Khan has accused the Opposition of colluding with foreign powers, and said he was the target of a US-led conspiracy to remove him through a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly because of his refusal to back them on issues against Russia and China. The US has rejected Khan's allegations.
