Imran Khan claims Pakistan military: In fresh claims, Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the country’s military establishment intended to keep him behind bars for the next 10 years under sedition charges. Alleging that Pakistan’s military has “assumed” power that of a judge, jury and executioner, Imran Khan said the “plan now” was to humiliate him by putting his wife, Bushra Begum, in jail. In a series of tweets in the early hours of Monday, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief said: “So now the complete London plan is out. Using the pretext of violence while I was inside the jail, they have assumed the role of judge, jury and executioner. The plan now is to humiliate me by putting Bushra begum (Khan’s wife) in jail, and using some sedition law to keep me inside for next ten years. “Imran Khan, who has been on bail in more than 100 cases, further said, “To ensure that there is no public reaction, they have done two things — first deliberate terror is unleashed not just on PTI workers but on common citizens as well. Second, the media is totally controlled and muzzled.”
“This is a deliberate attempt to instil so much fear in people that when they come to arrest me tomorrow, people won’t come out. And tomorrow they will again suspend internet services and ban social media (which is only partially open). Meanwhile, as we speak, houses are being broken in and shamelessly police are manhandling the women of the houses,” he said.
