"Who needs enemies when Khawaja Asif is making such comments," he said. 

The former interior minister on Saturday said the country needs a united front to tackle international challenges.

When asked about his support to the army, Nisar cited various incidents of speaking against the force each time it went against the policies of his government.

Country needs united front to tackle international challenges: Nisar

The former interior minister said that a confrontation with judiciary will not yield any political benefits

However, the former minister opined that unnecessary confrontation with the army can weaken the country's position 'which is not suitable.'

Responding to a question about the journey from Nawaz's 'troubleshooter' to his 'troublemaker' Nisar said, "I have only tried to resolve issues in the four years of our government."

When inquired about allegations that Nisar was not Nawaz's saviour but the individual responsible for trapping him, he denied the claims.

"The Dawn Leaks' initial investigation report was given by the army and IB," he said, adding that he was the only person who spoke in the government's favour during that inquiry.

"I believe in stating the truth," he said. "Nawaz Sharif never even frowned when I criticised policies and spoke the truth till 2013, but the past few years were different and resulted in the differences with him."

He said that he always presented policy matters to Nawaz directly but since some time he was deliberately being stopped from doing so, adding that he spoke in the Cabinet following the changing situation.
