Govt wanted to kill me like Murtaza Bhutto: Claims Imran Khan

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has hurled accusation on the PML-N led coalition government that they wanted to murder him like Murtaza Bhutto.

Imran Khan in a video address today, marking one year since his ouster, said that they had fear if they put him in a prison then his popularity will increase.

The ex-premier said that we want elections not chaos while he threatened to take to the streets if the elections are not held in the country.

“There is no other way except the elections,” he said.

Referring to the ongoing police crackdown against his party leadership, Khan said that the incumbent government would not keep them silent if “everyone is put in jails and our hands are tied”.

The deposed premier further said that as many as 144 FIRs — including sedition cases — have been registered against him.

On the other hand, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the former ruling party, on Sunday issued a “white paper” on the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government’s “one-year dark period”.

In its white paper, the PTI — whose government was toppled on April 9 last year through a vote of no confidence in the National Assembly — highlighted the incumbent government’s “poor governance, rising inflation and other issues”.

The 51-page “white paper” has been divided into six sections. Details of human rights violations by the incumbent government and statistics related to economic destruction and inflation have been made part of the document.

Details of police and Rangers’ operation at PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s residence in Zaman Park, cases against the former prime minister and other supporters of the party and detentions are also given in the white paper.

In addition to this, amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws and postponement of elections are part of the “white paper”.
