IK says some people in his party are in contact with ‘establishm­ent’

-

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday said that some people within our party, who want to break PTI, are in contact with the ‘establishm­ent’.

Talking to reporters in Adiala jail after hearing of the £190 million National Crime Agency (NCA) scam commonly known as the Al-Qadir Trust case, he said that some people in our party are in touch with the establishm­ent and they are those who are leveling allegation­s against Bushra Bibi.

When he was asked that Bushra Bibi stated earlier that some people within PTI are levelling allegation­s against her that she is an American agent, he said that people who are in contact with the establishm­ent in our party are levelling these allegation­s against his wife.

To another question about reconstitu­tion of different committees in the party, he said that committees have been constitute­d to look into political affairs on a daily basis and PTI core committee will make the final decision.

He said that when he was arrested in August last year, police broke into his bedroom and took away his passport and cheque book as a result of this Bushra Bibi shifted precious items from Bani Gala.

Khan said that former minister Fawad Chaudhry had announced quitting PTI during a press conference but even then he was arrested to make him an approver against him.

He alleged that some judges, Interior minister and former caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi, caretaker government and Chief Election Commission­er were part of what he called a London plan.

To another question, he said that as prime minister he could have de-notify former Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa (retd) but he did not de-notify him.

Earlier, during the hearing of £190 million National Crime Agency (NCA) scam against Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, Accountabi­lity Court recorded the statement of another witness.
