SIALKOT: Former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday reiterated the threat to his life and said he has recorded a video naming all those involved in the conspiracy of killing him since last summer.
The comments were made by Khan at the party’s massive gathering in Sialkot. “The video has been kept in a safe place.”
Ousted prime minister said the conspiracy is being hatched in “closed rooms inside and outside the country”.
“I knew of this conspiracy. So I have recorded a video and kept it in a secure place,” Khan, ousted last month through a vote of no confidence in the lower house of parliament, said.
“If something happens to me, then this video will be made public in front of the nation. In it, whoever has conspired against me, whoever is complicit since last summer, I have named everyone.”
Khan told a charged crowd that he made the video because in Pakistan the powerful are never brought to the law.
“They always go scot-free. Only weak people are taken to task. So I have recorded a video so that the nation gets to know who were the traitors of the country. Those who betrayed this country, I want their faces to come in the open.”
Khan said the conspirators think “Imran Khan can be an obstacle in their path and needs to be removed”.
“And that’s why I’ve recorded this video because I think this is jihad and not politics,” the PTI chief said.
“I’ve named everyone who planned and [revealed] how, through a foreign conspiracy, this corrupt lot, together with them, and others who were with them, ended my government.”
Khan, accused Washington of backing a conspiracy to remove him and has aired his conspiracy allegations against the US in a series of public rallies he has held since he was ousted. He has demanded snap elections.
Khan is on an embattled path to strengthen his party before the country goes to a fresh election. He has been addressing rallies, giving interviews alleging how his government has been ousted through foreign help, a claim that has been dismissed by the military and ISI.
In a recent interaction, Khan said dropping an atomic bomb would have been better than handing over the helm to the “thieves” – the coalition government headed by the Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif.
Khan asked his supporters to be ready for his call to march toward Islamabad if his demand to call fresh elections was delayed.
Meanwhile, defence minister Khawaja Asif said Khan has now come up with another “fake story of his assassination” to get the sympathy of the people.
