Prime Minister Imran Khan was ready to disclose the letter, that he claimed contains evidence of a “foreign-funded conspiracy” to oust his government in a March 27 rally, with Supreme Court Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Federal Minister Asad Umar said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the planning minister said he had seen the letter himself. He added that the “prime minister is ready … he thought we can share with the chief justice of the Supreme Court”.
Umar said the letter was dated to have been written before the tabling of the no-confidence motion in the National Assembly.
He said that the matter “is a very concerning thing and it is important because this letter clearly mentions the no-confidence resolution. There is no ambiguity that the no-confidence motion is being talked about.”
Umar further said the letter stated that if Imran Khan remained the prime minister, it would lead to “horrific consequences”.
Prime Minister Imran Khan first discussed the letter, allegedly written by “foreign conspirators”, in a rally of his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf on March 27 on Sunday. He alleged that the document contained threats of ‘grave consequences’ if him and his government were not sent home.
