Imran creating ‘assassination’ narrative for electioneering: Sherry

ISLAMABAD: Senator Sherry Rehman, the federal minister for climate change, claimed on Friday that Imran Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, was the victim of a “baseless and fabricated political and electoral narrative like so-called foreign conspiracy.

The federal minister asserted that Imran Khan’s claims about a potential assassination could not be disregarded because this was a very serious allegation that fell to the PTI leader to substantiate. “The court ought to request Imran Khan’s testimony. He has been fabricating political narratives by making serious accusations even before this. Imran Khan created a false political narrative during the most recent elections by alleging fraud and corruption, according to Sherry Rehman.

She added that this time Imran Khan needed a new narrative before going into elections. “If these allegations were true, the names of the conspirators should have been informed in the first place before the court, instead of being recorded in the video,” the minister stressed.

“He is creating this narrative to gain people’s sympathies before going into elections. These allegations without evidence were nothing but for electioneering purposes,” she asserted.
