PESHAWAR: Defence Minister Pervez Khattak on Monday rejected rumors about arising of problems with allied parties as baseless and unfounded.

Pervez Khattak also outrightly rejected in-house change and said the government would complete its tenure and all those who were propagating rumors would fail.
