Imran Khan under severe security threat from TTP: Interior Ministry

[Mian]

ISLAMABAD: Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has put PTI Chairman Imran Khan on its hit list.

“We have received multiple intelligence reports, submitted by the premier intelligence agency, that the TTP may attack Imran Khan , a senior official of the Interior Ministry has revealed, the News has reported.

Asked specifically if Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif were also under threat, the source replied in the affirmative. Following the intelligence reports, the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) dispatched a formal threat letter to the police and law enforcement agencies (LEAs).

The reports were received on April 1 and the same day an alert was issued to the departments concerned for taking preventive steps. A separate intelligence report was also received stating that the PTI chief Imran Khan faced a serious threat to his life.

The source claimed that the information about the threat had also been communicated to Imran Khan and his associates on the directions of Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal. The source claimed that the intelligence report was received a couple of days before Imran’s visit to Pind Daden Khan, Jhelum district, on March 14.

When this correspondent spoke to Fawad Hussain Chaudhry, the party’s central spokesman and a close associate of Imran Khan , he confirmed the threat. “Yes, we were conveyed about the threat officially,” Fawad said.

The source claimed that when Imran Khan was addressing party workers in Pind Daden Khan, a phone call had advised him to avoid public appearance. The call was also made to PTI leaders, including Fawad Chaudhry.

That is worrying indeed, hopefully he would stop being careless about security.

Even his political opponents can use such threats and attack him knowing well the blame would go elsewhere so dangerous times ahead.

Fazl ur Rehman is Nawaz's best friend and he can use his links with Talibans to arrange such an attack since both of their political careers are under threat, there is a good reason MMA is being revived otherwise would not survive.

IK has to take security much more seriously with the elections coming up. Having said that jisko Allah rukkay oono kaun chukkay!The man's faith is his strength.

We all know how dirty the politics can be especially in Pakistan and these party will do anything to retain power. It is the only thing I am afraid of for IK . He has a Lions heart and is only afraid of Allah Swt but these so called goons WILL play dirty if they feel the noose is getting tighter around their necks.

I really pray that his team are aware of the dangers he faces and arrange the most strictest security around him especially as they approach election. I have never trusted Diesel and agree wholeheartedly he will get mischievous .
