Sheikh Rashid claims plan being hatched to 'assassinate' Imran Khan

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed claimed on Friday that plans were being made to “assassinate” Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan. 

In a series of tweets, the former interior minister said attempts would also be made to put the PTI chief behind the bars and disqualify him ahead of elections in the country. 

Taking a dig at the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), he said the “13 parties” were not ready to contest elections in the presence of Imran Khan. 

Apparently referring to Thursday’s meeting of the PDM leaders, he said it had been decided that provincial elections would be held along with the Centre and Imran Khan would be excluded from politics.

He said the government had lost its senses as foreign exchange reserves continued to drop with the IMF loan programme is in the doldrums. While talking about the government’s plans to occupy Lal Haveli, he said the residence was his personal property.
