PTI chief failed to provide 'evidence' of assassination bid: Rana Sanaullah

Islamabad (Web Desk): Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Tuesday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief failed to provide evidence to the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Wazirabad incident.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, he said that the PTI chief leveled baseless allegations against the prime minister, interior minister and a senior army officer that they want to kill him.

"When asked to produce proofs, the PTI chief failed to present any evidence to the JIT" the minister said.

Responding to a question, the interior minister said that investigation was underway to probe 9th May incident to bring culprits before the law.

Rana Sanaullah that said JIT has received audio and video proofs of PTI culprits involved in vandalism of national institutions and army installations.

"The culprits involved in the attacks on army installations will be punished through army courts," he said.

The interior minister categorically stated that no innocent will punished, however, those involved in the attacks on national institutions will be dealt with iron hands.

The minister said Israel and other enemies of Pakistan supported and funded PTI to create chaos in the country, but our agencies took pre-emptive measures and foiled their nefarious designs.

Rana Sanaullah said that the PTI chief wanted to raise one million tiger force to attack country. 
He said this tiger force was supported with billions of rupees in the shape of loans and foreign funding to attack national institutions and create social media hype against the army chief and the institutions.

"They hatched conspiracy on 9th May as there were no political protests, but attacks on Pakistan's national institutions and military installations," Rana said.

To a query regarding next general elections, the interior minister said that there could be seat adjustment with any political party to get the country out of economic crisis.

He said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is not making any alliance with any party in next election.
