LAHORE, May 15 (NNI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has accused the PDM government of arresting him again, expressing apprehensions that they will “use some sedition law to keep me inside for next ten years under the London Plan.”
Imran took to twitter on Monday to reveal the “London plan” to remove him from political scene.
“So now the complete London plan is out. Using pretext of violence while I was inside the jail, they have assumed the role of judge, jury and executioner,” he wrote in a series of tweets.
“The Plan now is to humiliate me by putting Bushra begum in jail, and using some sedition law to keep me inside for next ten years.”
The former prime minister was arrested by Rangers last week and handed over to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after which the PTI workers resorted to violence attacking government and military installations.
Later, the Supreme Court ordered his release, terming the arrest as illegal. The government slammed that decision, and the ruling PDM had announced staging a protest sit-in outside the Supreme Court against CJP Umar Ata Bandial for the judiciary’s “undue facilitation” of Khan.
Terming it a “drama”, Imran wrote: “The JUI-F drama being done outside the SC is only for one purpose, to overawe the Chief Justice of Pakistan so that he doesn’t give a verdict according to the Constitution.”
In another tweet, Imran wrote that the coalition government will “again suspend internet services and ban social media (which is only partially open).”
“Never has the sanctity of chadar and chaar dewaari been violated the way it is being done by these criminals. This is a deliberate attempt to instill so much fear in people that when they come to arrest me tomorrow, people won’t come out.”
The government has launched a massive crackdown against the party and arrested several senior leaders, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Fawad Chaudhry, Mussarat Cheema, Shireen Mazari, etc.
Referring to the incidents, Khan said: “Then will follow a complete crackdown on whatever is left of PTI leadership and workers. And finally, they will ban the largest and only federal party of Pakistan. (Just as they banned the Awami League in East Pakistan).”
“To ensure there’s no public relation, they have done two things, first deliberate terror is unleashed not just on PTI workers but on common citizens as well. Second, the media is totally controlled and muzzled,” he claimed.
Imran is calling for early elections after his removal in April, 2022, through a no-confidence vote.
“My message to the people of Pakistan; I will fight for Haqeeqi Azaadi till the last drop of my blood because for me death is preferable than to be enslaved by these assortment of crooks,” he said, urging the people to “remember that they have pledged La Illah Ha Illalah, (that we bow to no one except the One (Allah).”
“If we bow to the idol of fear there will only be humiliation and dismemberment for our future generations. Countries where there is injustice and the law of the jungle prevails, don’t survive for long,” he wrote. NNI
