Imran Khan will contest the FIR filed in connection with the attempted murder in Wazirabad.
Imran Khan, a former prime minister and leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), declared on Tuesday that he will contest the First Information Report (FIR) of the assassination attempt filed by the Wazirabad police.
The PTI leader claimed that he knew he would be shot and that a video had been taken of him naming those responsible for the attack. He also claimed that a plot had been devised to kill him in a similar manner to how Punjab Governor Salman Taseer was slain by using religious extremism.
Imran Khan continued by asserting that the allegations in accused Naveed’s testimony were untrue and that accused Naveed had no communication with Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) leader Saad Rizivi.
Imran continued, “I have no problems with the army; our only disagreement is the accountability procedure.
In response to a different query, he stated that a coalition government should never be established since blackmail would then always be possible. Imran Khan declared, “If there is a two-thirds majority, the prime minister is strong and can work better.
In the past, a police report detailing an assault on Imran Khan during the long march was filed in Wazirabad.
Details indicate that sub-inspector Aamir Shahzad filed the FIR on Monday night. Only Naveed, the individual who was immediately apprehended, has been listed as an accused in the shooting case that resulted in the death of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The complaint was registered under the rules of murder, attempted murder, and anti-terrorism.
According to the FIR, Imran Khan was travelling by container from Allah wala chowk to Wazirabad at around 4 pm when the suspect, Naveed, started shooting with a handgun. Muazzam, a PTI member who participated in the march, passed away from bullet wounds, and the PTI chairman was hurt on the container. The FIR also listed 11 known injuries and a few unknown ones.
A PTI employee allegedly sought to apprehend the accused Naveed, preventing him from firing any further while he was being detained by the employee. Imran Khan travelled for Lahore for better treatment following the unfortunate occurrence after receiving medical attention.
The Long March attack, on the other hand, happened at Wazirabad, which is a part of Gujarat division. Wazirabad had been declared a district and added to Gujarat Division via a notification from the Chief Minister of Punjab, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
Imran Khan and other leaders were shot during the long march, according to the police’s FIR, which was recorded in Gujranwala.
In this regard, the sources said that the change in district may have an impact on the investigation; however, the police dismissed this as a clerical error and promised to fix it.
