As Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan continues to accuse senior military officials of hatching a plot to assassinate him, senior party leader Asad Umar has suggested Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir hold a one-on-one meeting to “resolve differences”.
The PTI secretary general gave these remarks during an interview with senior journalist Asma Shirazi.
The PTI chief has accused senior military officials of hatching a plot to assassinate him on several occasions. However, yesterday army media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), released a statement, warning Imran Khan against hurling “baseless allegations”.
Lashing out at former prime minister Imran Khan, the Pakistan Army had said the PTI chief has leveled “highly irresponsible and baseless allegation” against a serving senior military officer without any evidence. It also warned the former premier of legal course.
In response to the ISPR’s statement, the PTI chief before departing for Islamabad today reiterated his earlier claims against senior military officials.
“My reply to ISPR & attempts by PDM & their handlers to arrest me for two reasons: 1. To prevent me from campaigning bec InshaAllah when elections are announced I will be doing jalsas. 2. To prevent me from mobilising the masses for street movement in support of Constitution if PDM govt & their handlers refuse to obey the SC & violate Constitution on holding of elections,” he tweeted.
