عمران خان کے حوالے سے ایک منظم مہم شروع کی گئی، جو صہیونی لابی نے شروع کی، جس میں ان کے اہم کارندے رمیز راجہ بھی شامل ہو گئے۔ رمیز راجہ کا کیس بڑا خراب ہو گیا ہے، یہ کسی دن بڑی مشکل میں پڑیں گے ۔ ہم اب ان کی حرکتیں برداشت نہیں کریں گے۔ سینیٹر افنان اللہ pic.twitter.com/0EaTnqOe0W

Issuing a warning to Rameez Raja, Afnanullah said his situation had become “very serious” and that he could face major legal and political consequences at any time because of his activities.
He further claimed that the PML-N and the government would no longer tolerate such activities.
The senator also criticized Rameez Raja’s abilities as a former cricketer and commentator, saying he had not proven himself to be a good player or commentator. He also questioned his conduct as a public figure.
رمیز راجہ نہ تو کمنٹیٹر اچھے ہیں نہ یہ پلیئر اچھے تھے اور نہ ہی یہ انسان اچھے ہیں، یہ کمنٹری بھی ایسی کرتے ہیں جس سے ملک کو شرمندگی ہوتی ہے، ایسے بندے کو لایا جانا چاہیئے جو ملک کا مفاد سیکور کرسکے، سینیٹر افنان اللہ ۔۔ pic.twitter.com/c18RYu0tku
