Imran Khan has proof of Asif Zardari’s plot to kill him: Sheikh Rasheed

RAWALPINDI: Former Interior Minister and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed has asserted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman has ‘solid information’ about PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s alleged plot to have him killed, ARY News reported.

Speaking on ARY News programme ‘11th Hour’, the former minister said that Asif Ali Zardari wants to remove or disqualify Imran Khan, adding that the former premier has ‘solid information’ about Zardari’s alleged plot to have him killed.

“Imran Khan had told me that a terrorist group was involved in the conspiracy to kill him,” Sheikh Rasheed said, adding it is certain that these 13 parties do not have the courage to face PTI chairman.

In response to a question, Sheikh Rasheed said that the government would try to delay elections by citing security issues. “They are running away from the elections by citing reasons like terrorism,” he added.

Earlier in the day, Imran Khan said that when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari goes to court against him, he will be asked what “reputation” was damaged.

Imran Khan said that he stands by his remarks against the former president, adding: “Asif Zardari will have to take an oath and inform the court about how many people he had murdered. I want Zardari to ensure that he goes to court against me.”

The PTI chief further said that he has “solid information” about Asif Zardari’s alleged plot to have him killed.
