TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Accusing his ‘political opponents’ of being “out to kill him”, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that he would stay in Pakistan and contest all court cases despite his well-wishers abroad urging him to leave the country.
In a video address from his Lahore’s Zaman Park residence on Wednesday, Khan said his well-wishers called him and said that Pakistan’s establishment and all political parties were against him and they had already “imprisoned” the whole PTI.
“I have not committed any theft or crime. Why should I leave Pakistan?” he asked. “I am standing here alone because I have faith in Allah,” former PM said. Last month, the government restricted Khan, his wife and hundreds of political aides from travelling abroad after the PTI chief’s arrest on May 9 sparked violent protests across the country.
The PTI Chairman alleged that six more FIRs had been registered against him, taking the tally to 180 cases, and he was running from one court to another to get bail in “fake cases”. The former PM further stressed that his party lawyers, leaders and workers should get “cases registered against the police officers who he said were using high-handed tactics against citizens, including family members of PTI leaders and workers,”
