Former premier Imran Khan called on President Dr Arif Alvi to ‘act now’ and stop the abuse of power as well as the violation of laws and the Constitution.
In a letter to the president on Sunday, the former premier stated that since the removal of the PTI government, the country has been “confronted with an ever-increasing scale of false allegations, harassment, arrests, and custodial torture”.
He alleged that Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah “repeatedly issued death threats” to him and that he was informed of an assassination plot “hatched by PM Shahbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah” and a senior military official.
“The plot was operationalised earlier this week during our long march, but Allah saved me and the assassination attempt failed,” he stated.
Imran requested that as the head of the State of Pakistan and “also as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces under Article 243 (2)” of the Constitution, President Alvi take note of the “following serious wrongdoings that undermine Pakistan’s national security”.
He further asked Alvi to lead an inquiry to identify the guilty “and hold them accountable”.
