Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill on Friday said that the security provided to former premier Imran Khan has been withdrawn.

Gill had said in a tweet, "The security provided to the former prime minister by the Islamabad police was withdrawn."

According to reports, Imran Khan is coming to Islamabad on Sunday.

In April, PTI's Fawad Chaudhary had said that the securities agencies of the country have reported a 'plot' for the assassination of Pakistan's Ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan.

PTI leader Faisal Vawda also made similar claims that there was a conspiracy developed to assassinate the former PM over his refusal to "sell the country".
