Terror Outfit Planning To Target Imran During Election Campaign: Report

Nearly a week ago, the directors-general of the ISI and MI presented a detailed assessment of the security threats in general, and to the election process in particular, to Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan, and Justice Munib Akhtar.

Countrywide protests

Meanwhile, in a renewed effort to pressure the PDM-led coalition government, Imran Khan issued a fresh warning of countrywide protest if the Supreme Court’s directions to conduct elections in Punjab on May 14 were not executed.

He also attributed this failure to the former COAS Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, saying he was powerless to stop corrupt elements them since Bajwa had no problem with corruption.

Imran said the “the justice system will have to be amended” to pull the country out of its predicament. He lamented that the PTI employees had “been picked up by security forces,” calling it “the worst example of injustice.”

The remarks come as the PML-N tries to establish contact with arch-rival PTI, after the apex court granted the country’s major political parties a brief reprieve, giving them a week to agree on a date for elections.
