Pakistan: PTI accuses PML-N Leader of giving Death Threats to Imran Khan

Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has approached the Sir Syed Town Police station to lodge a complaint against the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah for allegedly issuing “death threats” to former prime minister.

Sanaullah who is the former PML-N government’s security czar reportedly termed Khan’s existence as a problem during the interviews he had given to local TV channels.

The PTI, however, sees his remarks as a “demand” for Khan’s assassination. Sanaullah clarified that he was referring to Khan’s political presence. Additionally, he emphasized that he had not made any threats against the life of the PTI founder.’ The matter will be resolved immediately if he [Khan] quits politics or gives up his certain political thinking under which he says ‘I will not leave anyone’ and ‘everybody is dacoit and looter’ he added.

As per sources, PTI Karachi chapter Vice President Tehmas Ali has submitted an application to the Sir Syed police station for lodging an FIR against Sanaullah for allegedly giving “death threats” to the PTI founder during a TV show. On the other hand, the police official said that a local leader of the PTI accompanied by his lawyer reached the police station yesterday night to lodge an FIR against the PML-N leader.

PTI officials were instructed by police officials to engage with the appropriate authority, as stated by police officials. Earlier in the day, during a press conference in Islamabad, PTI leader Raoof Hasan announced that his party’s core committee had resolved to file legal cases against PML-N leaders Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb for issuing threats against
the former prime minister. He further said that they would approach all the police stations to file the cases, adding that they would move the court if the cases were not registered by the police. He also complained about the slow pace of court proceedings on
cases against the PTI founder.
