“Four people planned my assassination in a closed room. I made a video and kept it. I have told that if anything happens to me, then the video should be released,” Imran was quoted as saying by Dawn.

Imran, who has named Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior minister Rana Sanuallah and Major General Faisal Naseer of ISI as among those responsible for the attack, slammed the ‘corrupt’ government for misusing state machinery to discredit him and his party Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Imran is on a long march from Lahore to Islamabad to protest against the Sharif government and to demand early general elections.
