LAHORE -UNS: Plan was made to assassinate me like former Punjab Governor and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Salmaan Taseer claimed Chairman PTI Imran Khan.
Addressing a press conference through a video link, he claimed that Naveed who fired bullets during PTI’s long march in Wazirabad to assassinate him was highly trained.
Regarding the video statement of the suspect, the PTI chairman asked who was behind the video statement and releasing it to the media, adding that the Wazirabad DPO forwarded the video to the reporters who were reporting against his party and who asked the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) to record another video.
“I have not got the First Information Report (FIR) of the incident despite repeated efforts,” he said and asked who was afraid of the FIR.
Mr Khan said the Wazirabad attack suspect s statement turned out to be a lie in the polygraphic test which made it clear that Naveed was prepared and sent. “Naveed said that he had no training in firing a pistol,” he said, adding that he (Naveed), just like Khwaja Asif, was not a religious man.
The PTI chairman further said the intention of the three shooters was to kill him in a planned manner.
