Imran asks Pakistan’s president to probe military

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has asked President Arif Alvi to initiate an inquiry into a news conference held by Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency, which he has accused of orchestrating the attack on him in long march.

In a letter to the president, Imran referred to the event held last month by Lieutenant General Nadeem Anjum, chief of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Aljazeera.

In the letter, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party chief wrote, “How can two military bureaucrats do a highly political press conference targeting the leader of the largest federal political party.”

At the unprecedented news conference on October 27, Anjum was accompanied by Lieutenant General Babar Iftikhar, the chief of the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Last week, Imran was wounded in the leg in an apparent assassination attempt during a protest rally in Wazirabad in the eastern province of Punjab.
