Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Shoaib Shaheen said that the incumbent government and the establishment would be responsible if anything happened to the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan.
“Attempts are made to threaten and murder the PTI founder. Why do terrorists choose to target only Adiala Jail instead of other jails across the country?” Shaheen said while talking to journalists outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office in Islamabad on Thursday.
His statement comes after the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) claimed to have arrested three “Afghan” terrorists and recovered a map of Adiala Jail, a hand grenade, and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from their possession.
Khan, the only prime minister to be voted out of his office, is currently imprisoned in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail as he serves several sentences in the Toshakana, un-Islamic marriage, and the cipher case.
A failed assassination attempt was also made on Khan’s life in November 2022 when he was leading an anti-government rally in Wazirabad. He sustained bullet injuries in his leg.
