Babar Awan further said that the government wants Imran Khan’s lifeguards to withdraw from their security. Attempts are being made to use the Salman Taseer and Liaquat Bagh attack formula. There is an appeal to the judiciary that the appearance of Imran Khan should be done through video link.

He said that the person who attacked Imran Khan can get permission to appear through a video link, so Imran Khan is not a cookie? Shahbaz Sharif and the government should write that if anything happens to Imran Khan, they will be responsible.

Earlier, the government and state institutions swung into action after Major (retd) Adil Raja accused the top state figure of another conspiracy to kill Imran Khan.

The military leadership had a long meeting with the Prime Minister yesterday. Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and the Army Chief in Syria met Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif last afternoon. According to the English daily Express Tribune, the scheduled duration of the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Army Chief was 30 minutes, but this meeting unusually lasted for an hour and a half.

Since no formal statement, photo or video was issued after the closed-door meeting, sources familiar with details revealed that the meeting took longer than the scheduled time as it lasted one-and-a-half hour as opposed to a 30-minute slot. https://t.co/7k55SBcD9k

Later, the Prime Minister presided over a meeting of important party leaders, including Prime Minister Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, after which Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb hinted at taking action against Adil Raja without naming them.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah wrote in his tweet that “On the direction of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the government has decided to take strict legal action against those criminal fugitives who are supporters of PTI, who sit inside and abroad and make accusations against national institutions and their leaders.” Indians are running the agenda. Pakistan condemns the hostile campaign, will curb these languages”.

Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb also wrote in a similar tweet, “Cypher, American conspiracy buried, now the fabricated story of Imran’s murder is ridiculous.” The foreign agent is making a conspiracy through the evil agents sitting outside, the anti-Pakistan agenda has been exposed. Why the foreign funding, the destruction of the economy, the partition, the campaign against the martyrs are the proofs of his dirty mind
