Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Wednesday alleged that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government was planning to conduct an operation inside Zaman Park “either today or tomorrow.”
Addressing the nation via a video link, the PTI chief claimed that two squads had been formed to infiltrate his supporters and create chaos during which faceless men will mingle with party supporters and open fire at policemen.
“Their plan is to kill people as they did in Model Town,” he also said.
It should be noted that in 2014, a fight between supporters of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and the police force claimed the lives of at least 14 people and left more than 100 others injured during an ‘anti-encroachment operation’ outside Idara Minhajul Quran in Lahore’s Model Town.
“I want to tell the Punjab Police that five police personnel will be killed by them [the government],” he claimed, adding that his party was not looking for conflict.
