“THEY” ARE PLANNING ANOTHER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT DURING EID HOLIDAYS: IMRAN KHAN

Tue 18 Apr 2023:

Imran Khan, a former prime minister of Pakistan, disclosed that he had specific knowledge of a potential assassination attempt during the approaching Eid holidays at his home in Lahore’s Zaman Park, IANS reported.

Since the Wazirabad incident last year, which occurred during the anti-government long march from Lahore to Islamabad, he asserted that this would be the second assassination attempt.

Khan made these statements at a hearing on a petition he filed with the Lahore High Court (LHC) asking for instructions from relevant parties not to intervene and have him arrested in relation to about 121 FIRs lodged against him.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief alleged that similar to the “planned” attack in Wazirabad, “they” are planning another assassination attempt.

The term “them” used by Khan is what he associates with the government, the security and the military establishment, who he has been accusing for plotting against him to first ouster his government and then to eliminate him.

The former premier requested the LHC to intervene into the matter and direct concerned authorities to refrain from arresting him in order to avoid what he termed as “bloodshed”, planned by “them”.

Khan also stated that the plan of the current coalition government under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was not to incarcerate him, but was to eliminate him.

“The situation at my Zaman Park residence would deteriorate if it was attacked again by police and security officials. Those who want to kill me are sitting in the government and want bloodshed, not relief,” he added.
