This was said by the prime minister as he chaired a meeting of party leaders and spokespersons where participants said that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Fazl had made efforts in the past to recognise Israel.  

"Expose Nawaz Sharif and Fazlur Rehman at every forum," PM Imran Khan directed to party leaders and spokespersons.

He directed party leaders to mobilise for a coherent action plan and warned them that the Opposition was involved in spreading propaganda against the government. 

"We are waging jihad and the mafia[ the opposition] is spreading propaganda against us."
