Stop intel agencies from meddling in politics: Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan asks President Alvi
Islamabad: PTI chief Imran Khan has sought the president's intervention to stop the “brazen interference of intelligence agencies” in politics, media reports said on Saturday.
In a letter to President Arif Alvi, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief wrote that the PTI’s core and parliamentary committees had unanimously passed a resolution seeking “your intervention to stop interference in the political process," reports Dawn News.
“The most recent reflection of this interference is the KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) governor’s statement that he cannot give a date for elections to the KP legislature as that would be given by the intelligence agencies and the establishment,” the letter said.
“The resolution also draws your attention to the brazen acts of abduction, sham FIRs, custodial torture, threats being meted out to PTI workers and leaders. The resolution calls on you to take action against all these actions that contravene the Constitution, the law of the land and fundamental rights.”
Asad Umar, the PTI’s secretary general, enclosed a transcript of the KP governor’s press talk with the letter.
