He said that these terrorist groups have reunited from Afghan territory and carried out attacks on police check posts in Pakistan
"We are suffering because of weak policies of [former prime minister] Imran’s regime," he claimed
The defence minister further claimed that Pakistan was passing through difficult economic stages due to tough agreements inked with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by the previous government led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
