LAHORE: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and former Prime Minister Imran Khan in his message to the nation has said that the intention of the government was not to arrest him but to abduct and assassinate him.

He tweeted on Wednesday, “From tear gas to water cannons, they have now resorted to clearly “arrest” claim was mere drama because real intent is to abduct and assassinate me. I signed a surety bond last evening, but the DIG refused to even entertain it. There is no doubt of their mala fide intent.”

“My house has been under heavy attack since yesterday afternoon. Latest attack by Rangers, pitting the largest political party against the army. This is what PDM and the enemies of Pakistan want. No lessons learnt from the East Pakistan tragedy.”

واضح طور پر”گرفتاری“ کا دعویٰ محض ایک ڈرامہ تھاجبکہ اصل نیت اغواء اور قتل کی ہے۔آنسو گیس اور آبی توپوں کےبعد اب یہ سیدھی فائرنگ پر اتر آئےہیں۔کل شام میں نےضمانتی بانڈ بھی مہیا کیا مگر DIGنے وصول تک کرنے سےانکار کردیا۔انکی بدنیتی اور ناپاک عزائم میں کسی قسم کا ابہام باقی نہیں۔ pic.twitter.com/XZPpvI6d8h
