We always prefer the strength of the country. My party would always support the army and is prepared to give any sacrifice.” Replying to a question about massive load-shedding, Dr Asim said this is the federal subject and the PML-N leaders had promised smooth power supply in three months. “The question must be directed to them, this is their failure.” Dr Asim was present at the court for hearing of the two references filed against him by NAB.
