Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, claimed on Friday that Asif Ali Zardari had recruited a militant organization to kill him.
Speaking to his followers via video link, he declared that “plan C” had been developed after the failure of the first two attempts to have him removed.
He claimed that money taken from Sindh, where the PPP is in power, was being used to fund a conspiracy to kill him, and he added that Zardari was one of the four people responsible.
The former premier said he had already recorded a video, which will be released in case he is killed.
Talking about the arrests of PTI leaders, Khan said they were being treated as traitors and victimized for political revenge openly. He said the government had put all its focus to remove him from politics instead of fixing the economic issues, which continue to deepen with every passing day. He said the Pakistani rupee had plummeted to a historic low while foreign exchange reserves had fallen to an alarming level. He recalled the reserves stood at more than $16 billion when the PTI government was toppled.
He said Sri Lanka and Egypt, which are facing financial crunches had cut their military expenses by half. He warned that the national security of the country could be compromised if the country defaults.
The PTI chief also compared the prices of essential commodities between his government and the current setup.
