Imran alleges ‘imported’ govt, handlers advancing on ‘minus one’ formula
The PTI chief has also alleged that attempts are being made to “push him against the wall”
Islamabad: The “imported government and its handlers” were working on a “minus one formula”, former prime minister and PTI chairman Imran Khan alleged on Friday.
PTI leaders urged supporters to take to the streets to express solidarity with the former prime minister
The PTI chief’s statement comes a day after the Islamabad High Court decided to indict him in contempt proceedings over his diatribe at a last month rally in Islamabad against Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry.
The judge had approved PTI leader Shahbaz Gill’s physical remand in a sedition case.
Recently, in his rallies, the PTI chief has alleged that attempts were being made to “push him against the wall”.
Last week, Imran Khan accused PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and former president Asif Ali Zardari of wanting to “appoint an army chief of their choice” in November to save their skin in corruption cases.
In a tweet today, the ex-premier said: “Tomorrow our Gujranwala jalsa will be last of our present phase of Haqiqi Azadi Movement. I will announce the next critical phase at the jalsa.”
The imported government and its handlers “are so petrified that the nation is standing firmly behind PTI that they are desperately moving on Minus 1 formula”, he further said in the tweet.
Most recently, he alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched to topple the PTI government in Punjab.
Imran alelged that “Mr X and Mr Y” were threatening his party members to accept bribes.
