The daughter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shireen Mazari once again targetted the Army, but this time Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor was on her radar.

Imaan Mazari, daughter of the pro-military Pakistani leader, on Saturday tweeted, "Our Prime Minister resigned. Our Law Minister resigned. You know who really SHOULD resign? @OfficialDGISPR. He has brought immense disgrace to his office & cast doubt on the role of the armed forces as non-political. He is a liability not only for the armed forces but 4 Pakistan."

Earlier this month, Imaan held the Army responsible for the capitulation of the Pakistani government to the demands of Islamists protesting against a perceived "blasphemy".

The protests brought the government to its knees after blocking the highway between Islamabad and Rawalpindi for 22 days.

The eventual surrender of the government led to the Pakistani law minister's resignation.

She roasted the Pakistan Army in a self-recorded video that went viral after she uploaded it on Twitter.

"Since Pakistan's army is capable of understanding only the language of terror and religious fanatics like Khadim Rizvi, I decided using their language to get their attention," Imaan said in the video.

"Shame on the army that finances the activities of the terrorists, who have burnt down Islamabad and have plans to burn the entire country," she added.

However, reacting to Imaan's video, Shireen said she does not share the view her daughter had expressed.
