I have no concern over army chief’s appointment, says Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD–
Imran Khan once again defers long march for a day; Says Pakistan Army is ours and it’s out of question to go against it: Reiterates appointment of Army Chief not his issue: Rules out any compromise with Nawaz, Zardari: Says march will achieve its objective i.e. election,”I have no concerns over the army chief’s appointment”, this is stated by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan while talking to a group of journalists in Lahore on Monday.
Former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supremo Imran Khan on Monday said that he does not need to accuse people to gain more popularity.
In an exclusive interview with CNN after his survival from an assassination attempt during the long march in Wazirabad, the PTI chief, while responding to a question regarding three nominated accused, said that a plot was made months ago to kill him by using religious extremism, adding that he already told the people that reason for execution in one of his addresses.
“Why is the matter being covered up after this attack? Why is there no independent investigation, three people, including Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, are involved in the attack,” asked Imran.
The PTI chairman added that he has also appealed to the CJP Bandial to form a commission for inquiry, adding that if he is wrong, then the commission should prove him wrong. “I’m pretty sure I was attacked with planning,” he added.
“Remember, three and a half years I was in power. I have connections with intelligence agencies, the different agencies that operate. How did I get the information? From within the intelligence agencies. Why? Because most people are appalled by what is going on in this country,” said Imran Khan.
When asked about suggestions from his critics that accusing the current government of perpetrating the attack would help Khan get back into office, he replied that he doesn’t “need any reason to accuse this government for me to get back into power,” adding that his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party remains popular since his ousting in April.
