Evidence available of Imran conspiring in prison to spread anarchy: Sana

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Saturday claimed that incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was hatching plots inside the prison to create “political chaos” in the country.

Speaking to host Shahzad Iqbal in Geo News programme ‘Naya Pakistan,’ Sanaullah said that the PTI founder was not permitted by the court to hold political meetings in Adiala jail.

“PTI founder is not allowed to make such plans to create chaos while sitting in jail,” he said, adding that evidence available with authorities concerned solidifies the claims of such planning underway in the jail.

The PM’s aide, however, said that the government has no audio or video evidence of the planning “but those who are responsible and performing duties there have them”.

Commenting on the former ruling party’s planned rally in Islamabad, Sana said the Imran-founded party’s decision to hold a power show in Muharram was inappropriate. “The PTI wants to create political chaos through the public rally.”

However, he termed the revocation of permission to the PTI for the Islamabad rally “an administrative decision” and refuted the government’s influence in the move. Sanaullah further claimed that the foreign elements supported PTI in staging May 9 riots last year to create chaos in the country. “Enemy countries want to spread anarchy in Pakistan through the PTI,” he added.

Sanaullah further said that evidence regarding PTI receiving foreign aid could be made public if the federal cabinet made any decision in this regard.
