Interior minister Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan is committing treason against Pakistan, after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief announced that his long march would be resumed.
He said, Imran Khan is “committing the crime of treason against the state.” Imran Khan, former Pakistani prime minister, was shot at at a political event last week in Wazirabad, Punjab province. Imran Khan has declared that his lengthy march toward Islamabad will begin on Tuesday at the same location in the city where he was attacked.
“We have decided that our march will resume on Tuesday from the same [point] in Wazirabad where I and 11 others were shot, and where Moazzam was martyred,” Khan was quoted as saying by Dawn, during a press conference in Lahore.
“Imran Khan only has one demand: he wants to be adopted by the institutions to make him sit on the prime minister’s chair,” said the Interior Minister.
Khan intends to create controversy surrounding the selection of the army chief, according to Sanaullah.
He continued, “Institutions, administration, Parliament, and the judiciary should stand against his despicable objective. He will never succeed in his agenda against the nation and the country.”
Responding to a question about the delay in lodging the FIR, the interior minister said that there would be obstacles if you wanted to lodge a case against the “state”.
“The police have the right to refuse if a fraudster wants to register a case for his [certain] purposes,” he added. The PTI leader is pressurizing institutions to fulfill his nefarious design, said the interior minister.
“Based on a fake, the news conference was held. Why was it necessary to authenticate that they received the video? “asked the minister.
Notably, on Saturday, Swati broke down in tears in front of the media, saying that his wife had received a video starring them and that he couldn’t reveal any more information since the “daughters of my country are listening.”
