Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Shibli Faraz has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had prior knowledge of the assassination plot against him and he told about a plan being prepared against him in September, October last year, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.

He had said that the attack will be attributed to religious extremism which proved true, he said. 

Shibli said injured Imran was on his way to hospital for treatment when the statement of the accused was released. The policemen got the statement of accused while sitting in their office. 

Shibli said often the press conferences of important personalities are not aired but PTV broadcasted live the press conference of alleged shooter’s counsel.

The shooter’s lawyer had the same statement as that of government and Rana Sanaullah, he said. 

Who is behind that, that was to be unearthed but record of the JIT was removed.
