Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan claimed on Friday that a new plan was hatched for his assassination, accusing former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari of being a key conspirator. Holding a news conference via video link, Imran termed the alleged conspiracy ‘Plan-C’ for which he accused Zardari of paying money to a terrorist outfit to carry out the assassination. “Now they have made a Plan C, and Asif Zardari is behind this. He has loads of corruption money, which he loots from the Sindh government and spends on winning elections. He [Zardari] has given money to a terrorist outfit and people from powerful agencies are facilitating him,” Imran alleged. “This has been decided on three fronts and they will act soon,” he added. “I am telling you this because if something happens to me the nation should know the people who were behind this, so that the nation never forgives them,” he said. The PPP has decided to issue a legal notice against Imran, demanding that he retract the allegations levelled against Zardari.
