Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has asked for an independent inquiry to be conducted into the attack on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan, suggesting the formation of a Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, to investigate PTI chief’s claims of assassination.

Taking to Twitter, the interior minister said that Imran Khan was misleading the nation, adding that an inquiry should be conducted into Khan’s claim of being injured by four bullets.

“Inquiries were being conducted during Imran Khan’s tenure. Did he [Imran Khan] resign for conducting the inquiry,” the interior minister asked.

The minister went on to question if the Punjab government was working under the coalition or the PTI-backed administration of Chief Minister Pervez Elahi.
