"They should go and hold Ali Amin’s feet, God forbid. Go and talk to Afghanistan," he stated, criticizing the government’s inaction.

He made these remarks during an informal talk with journalists at Adiala Jail.

Former prime minister denounced the federal government’s handling of cross-border terrorism, warning, "If terrorism does not end, our economy will be destroyed."

Discussing the worsening security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the founder highlighted the struggles of the police force, suggesting that the issue has escalated to the point of rebellion.
