A district court on Saturday sought a reply from SHO Islmapura on a petition seeking registration of FIR against Prime Minister Imran Khan for ‘threatening’ former president Asif Ali Zardari, according to a news outlet.
Adeel Yaqoob filed the petition after the police, according to him, did not register FIR against the premier on his complaint.
The petitioner stated in the court that the respondent SHO was legally bound to register a case in accordance with law under the provision of Section 154 Cr.P.C and police rules, but the respondent has violated the aforesaid mandatory provisions and is entitled to be penalized and treated in accordance with the law.
The petitioner prayed that he ‘heard’ PM Imran saying in a public gathering that “Mr Zardari you are at the aim of my gun”, which is tantamount to a threat of dire consequences.
“PM Khan caused anarchy in public through this statement,” the petitioner added.
However, the judge sought a reply from the SHO on the petition.
Earlier on Wednesday, while addressing his party workers at the Governor House in Karachi, Imran had turned his “guns” on Zardari and said that the former president is his first target.
He had warned the joint opposition that the no-trust motion filed against him would sound the death knell for them.
He had assured his supporters and allies that he has plans for his political rivals after defeating their political game.
