Imran Khan leveling ‘baseless’ allegations: Interior Minister

Islamabad: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah says Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is leveling baseless allegations after yesterday's incident in Wazirabad. 

While addressing a news conference in Islamabad today, he regretted that PTI's leadership has blamed three persons without any investigation or evidence. 

“It is unfortunate that the PTI's leaders tried to instigate people,” he said adding that such behavior of a political party will not strengthen democracy. 

The minister said that security arrangements of the PTI chairman should be reviewed.

The Interior Minister said the Prime Minister has announced the compensation for the families of persons who died during the PTI's long march. He said family of the man who died in yesterday's firing incident will also be given compensation.

Rana Sanaullah said the federal government has already proposed to constitute a Joint Investigation Team to thoroughly investigate the incident.
