LAHORE: Renowned legal expert Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan called on PTI Chairman Imran Khan at his residence here. PPP leader arrived at residence of former Prime Minister in Zaman Park. Imran Khan is currently recovering after an assassination attempt on his life last week in Wazirabad during long march.

Imran Khan said he had invited Aitzaz Ahsan to join PTI seventeen years ago. He said Aitzaz Ahsan has same views and his future lies with them. He said Aitzaz Ahsan knows to play cricket very well and used to be his wicketkeeper.

Aitzaz Ahsan said he was watching TV when he heard news that Imran Khan was shot. “After video statement of accused Naveed, I got a call and said that a parrot is talking,” he said.

Speaking to media after meeting, Aitzaz Ahsan said he had come to inquire about Imran Khan’s well-being and visiting Zaman Park revives old memories.

He denied reports that he had come to meet Imran Khan to discuss First Information Report (FIR) over Wazirabad attack or provide legal counsel.

He said FIR is initial report and sometimes even innocent people are named in FIR. He said action should be action against SHO if FIR is not registered within five days, adding that police do not have power to register a case on their own.
