Islamabad: In startling revelation, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Babar Awan claimed party has evidence of another assassination plot being hatched to murder PTI Chairman Imran Khan. Addressing media here, Awan who is also Imran’s lawyer said party has received fresh reports from “Foreign intelligence agency” about another assassination attempt on Imran Khan.

Without identifying spy agency or divulging further details on purported evidence, Awan said plan has been made for sniper to target Imran in Islamabad judicial complex during his court hearing. Foreign agency has said that such an incident could happen in Islamabad courts, he claimed.

PTI leader said that CCTV cameras were switched off for first time and no security arrangements were made during Imran Khan’s arrival in judicial complex for court hearing earlier this week.

He said terrorism case had been registered against Ahmed Niazi, who is in charge of Imran Khan’s security, to undermine security of Imran Khan.  “Attempts are being made to carry out an attack in Salman Taseer and Liaquat Bagh-style formula to kill Imran Khan,” he said. Awan also called upon judiciary to allow his client to appear for hearings via video link due to security concerns.
