Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has written letter to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, requesting adequate security arrangements for his court appearances due to possible assassination plots against him.

“I wish to draw your attention to very critical issue. Ever since removal of my government through regime change operation, I have been confronted with questionable FIRs, threats and finally an assassination attempt,” Imran stated in letter.

He complained of not being provided proper security despite being former Prime Minister, alleging that current Prime Minister, Interior Minister and senior intelligence agency officer were involved in failed assassination plot against him.

“There are clear indications of another assassination attempt being plotted on my life,” he said.

“To date, there are 74 cases against me and I am being made to appear in court for hearings time and often. I am Chairman of largest political party in country and wherever I go massive crowds naturally follow. This further aggravates prevailing security threat.

Right to life is fundamental right under Constitution and there is grave threat to my life,” he added. PTI Chief requested CJP to take action on this threat being faced by him from those in power and to ensure that adequate security arrangements are made if his appearance is necessary.

He requested video link facility for court appearances due to severe threats to his life, which would prevent massive crowds from showing up in support whenever he has to make court appearance.
