LAHORE (Web Desk) – Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), slammed Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for attempting to terrorise the country by outing a fake conspiracy against women in order to “cover up horror stories about to break in the media.”

The former prime minister tweeted a tape from Sanaullah’s news conference on Sunday in which he discussed wiretapping a phone conversation. The topic of discussion was an alleged plan to arrange a rape and accuse law enforcement of the horrible crime in order to get international support for a human rights violation.

In his tweet, Imran said that “this press conference from this confirmed criminal should eliminate any questions regarding women being abused in prisons.

He is blatantly attempting to conceal and foreshadow the horror tales that are going to go viral in the media.

When exercising their right to peaceful protest, women have never been persecuted and hounded by the state as they have been by this fascist government.

You may remember that media reports detailed the law enforcement officials’ egregious mistreatment of PTI leaders’ wives. Usman Dar’s home was once invaded by the police, who also abused his mother badly. Police have also repeatedly assaulted and dragged female protestors.

Press conference in Sanaa

In a news conference held at after midnight on Saturday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan said that the PTI had planned to draw attention to human rights abuses in Pakistan by simulating a raid on a party member’s home and inflicting shooting and rape victims.

The minister said that a plot to assassinate a PTI employee during a staged raid was being discussed on a phone that was intercepted by security authorities.

He indicated that the plan was to be carried out tonight and that the second component of the scheme was to conduct a rape.

He claimed that the conversation’s participants were being watched.

According to the minister, the aim of his “midnight televised address is to promptly alert the nation about the malicious intentions of the plotters.”

Sanaullah reaffirmed the government’s commitment to prosecuting individuals responsible for the May 9 incidents.

SHAHZAD AKBAR and OMAR AYUB

Imran further denounced the searches that occurred late on Saturday night on the homes of PTI leaders Omar Ayub and Shahzad Akbar.
