The coalition government has decided to take action against PTI Chairman Imran Khan and his aides for levelling allegations against the armed forces, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif took the decision during a meeting in Punjab's capital Lahore, a statement issued in this regard said, after the PTI chief upped the ante against the government and institutions.
"The federal government has decided to exercise its powers on baseless allegations against institutions. Legal action will be taken against Imran Khan and his associates in the light of ISPR's (Inter-Services Public Relations) statement," it said.
The government has also constituted a committee consisting of constitutional and legal experts to formulate a strategy, they added.
Apart from taking PTI to task for the statements against institutions, the government will also initiate legal action against the party's workers for vandalism and creating chaos, the statement from the government said.
