Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan may be summoned regarding the allegations against former President Asif Ali Zardari.
Sanaullah’s remarks were part of a response to the PTI chief’s claim in a public speech in January that Zardari was plotting an assassination to get Imran killed.
“It is the right of the state to ask whether Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed has any evidence to support his allegations against the former president,” the minister said during program on Thursday. There is evidence.” He said that what is happening with AML chief Sheikh Rasheed is not political revenge.
Rashid, who was arrested in the case of accusing former President Asif Ali Zardari, has been sent to jail on two-day physical remand.
Sanaullah asserted that the PML-N government did not ask Sheikh Rasheed to make such serious allegations, and the Election Commission of Pakistan, not the government, filed a case against PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry. The government is currently investigating the incident where Fawad’s face was covered with a cloth.
He said that the government is investigating Fawad’s face covering with a cloth.
