Amid the possible assassination attempts against Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has written a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Umar Ata Bandial requesting adequate security arrangements for the court appearances.
According to the media reports, he wrote in the letter, “I wish to draw your attention to a very critical issue. Ever since the removal of my government through a regime changes operation, I have been confronted with questionable FIRs, threats and finally an assassination attempt.”
The former prime minister has also complained about not providing adequate security despite being the ex-PM.
In his letter, Imran Khan alleged that the current prime minister and interior minister were involved in the failed assassination attempt against him.
Almost 74 cases have been registered against him till now, Ex-PM said citing news reports. He said that he is the chairman of the largest political party in Pakistan.
Moreover, he stressed that the right to life is a fundamental right under the constitution and added that there is a “grave threat” to his life.
“There are clear indications of another assassination attempt being plotted on my life,” Imran Khan said.
“I am chairman of the largest political party in the country and wherever I go massive crowds naturally follow. This further aggravates the prevailing security threat. Right to life is a fundamental right under the Constitution and there is a grave threat to my life,” Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman added.
