“I have seen many videos on Facebook. Enough is enough,” Khan tellsPashteen while referring to his speeches against the state institutions,particularly the army.
Khan, while talking to media, said he refused to allow Pashteen and hiscolleagues to enter the mausoleum in a bid to “honour the armed forces”.
He said his brother had hoisted the national flag 18,400 feet above sealevel at Kargil and earned Nishan-e-Haider and respect of the nation. “Iwill never tolerate anyone discrediting the national flag and the armedforces,” added.
