Islamabad, November 7
The chief of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Maulana Fazlur Rehman said he had his doubts over the attack on Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and termed the incident a “drama”.
At a press conference, he called the incident “an act”, saying that “Imran outclassed Shahrukh and Salman Khan (both Indian bollywood stars) in acting”. “Initially I had sympathised with Imran Khan upon hearing about the Wazirabad episode, but now it seems that it was a drama,” he added.
The PDM chief called for a “thorough investigation” into the shooting during the PTI’s long march on November 3. He claimed that PTI chief wanted nothing but appointment of new army chief of his choice
Claiming that confusion surrounding Imran Khan’s injuries was enough to raise eyebrows, he said it was not clear whether “a single shot was fired at Imran or more” and whether the injury was “on one leg or on both”.
Furthermore, Maulana Fazl said, it was intriguing that Imran Khan “was taken to Lahore instead of being admitted to a nearby hospital (in Wazirabad)”. He said Imran cannot be taken on his word after his party “violated court orders” during the march in May.
The JUI-F chief contested the PTI’s claim that Khan was injured by “broken pieces” from bullets fired by a man during the long march at Gukkhar on Thursday.
“How is it possible that a bullet broke into pieces. We have heard about a piece from a bomb, but not a bullet.”
