PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Imran Khan’s accusations have not just increased threats to his family. His party has decided to challenge the PTI chief.

“After terrorist outfits called myself & my party out by name in direct threats, Imran has now made false accusations against my father former president AZ. These statements increase threats to my father, my family and my part. We take them seriously given our history,” he said in a Twitter thread.

This came after the senior leadership of PPP decided to send a legal notice to Imran for his “baseless” allegations.

“PPP will challenge him. We cannot let populist fiction dominate our discourse, poison our politics & damage our democracy. We will not tolerate being victims of terrorist & put up with propaganda from their political frontmen.”

Legal notice

The Pakistan Peoples Party would send a legal notice to PTI chief Imran Khan after the latter accused the former’s co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari of being behind a plot to assassinate him with the help of a “terrorist outfit”.

“Imran has made false and baseless allegations and we will issue a legal notice today demanding him to retract his accusations,” PPP’s Nayyar Bukhari said at a press conference on Saturday. He was accompanied by party’s senior leaders Farhatullah Babar and Qamar Zaman Kaira.

“If he doesn’t, the PPP has the right to approach the forums and courts for civil and criminal proceedings.”

The PTI chief, in a televised address on Friday, alleged that Zardari was behind plan “C” made to kill him. Imran claimed that the former president has given money to a terror outfit for the said purpose.

The Sindh-ruling party has outright rejected such claims. Instead, it has demanded of the former prime minister to come up with evidence or get ready for legal action. They would approach civil and legal fora for this purpose.

Plan “C”, according to Imran, was hatched after the two earlier plans to “eliminate Imran” got failed.

Imran survived an attempt on his life in Wazirabad when he was leading a cavalcade in November to press the government for early elections.

“Imran Khan has politically died. He is afflicted with depression and panic,” Bukhari, “in this panic, he keeps on blaming various institutions — whether it is the establishment, the election commission or the former army chief.”

He claimed that the PTI chief allegations were never based in reality.

Farhatullah Babar was of the view that Imran Khan has “lost his senses” because of the loss of power.

“A person, who himself is a patron of militants, is saying a plot to end him has been made by hiring militants tells itself what his mental level is,” he said.

Kaira said that the nation, the media, the whole civil society should demand Imran bring forward information and evidence to prove his claims.

He claimed Imran’s politics was “not democratical but fascist”.
