Lahore: Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has alleged that a new plan — Plan C — has been hatched to assassinate him, accusing the former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman, Asif Ali Zardari, of being the key conspirator.
Addressing the nation via a video link from his residence in Lahore, the PTI chairman on Friday termed the alleged conspiracy “Plan-C”, for which he accused Asif Ali Zardari of paying money to a terrorist outfit to carry out the assassination attempt on his life.
He said that the former president was among four people who were planning to kill him.
In November last year, Imran Khan survived an assassination attempt during his Azadi March.
Referring to that gun attack on him in Wazirabad, Imran further claimed that there was a plot to kill him under “Plan-B” in the name of religious extremism.
“They almost succeeded in their plan to kill me but now they are moving towards Plan-C,” he added.
He said that earlier there were four people, who conspired in a closed room to kill me. “When I came to know about the plot, I made a video and sent it abroad and announced in a public meeting that if anything happens, the video will be released.”
“Now they are going to commit the next attack on me, which I am informing the nation today. Life and death are in the hands of Allah and I fear no one. I will go on the campaign trail anyway,” Imran said, referring to the upcoming provincial assembly elections in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
