ISLAMABAD: The Opposition Leader in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said the whole nation including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will oppose the dismissal of army chief or DG ISI over memogate issue, FTNews reported.

“I will not say that he (Hashmi) left the party on the establishment’s behest, however I would say that the establishment was supporting Tehrik-i-Insaf,” said Nisar.
