Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, during interrogation by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in Attock Jail, said that those involved in the May 9 incidents were not his party workers.
The JIT interrogated the PTI chairman in six cases for 30 minutes in Attock Jail on Friday. Imran Khan told the JIT that he had not provoked anyone, adding that everyone had gone to the cantonment area on his own.
The former prime minister told the JIT team, headed by DIG Investigation Imran Kishwar, that he was in detention, he had no telephone, how could he incite violence. “There is evidence of incitement by you regarding the May 9 incidents,” the JIT said to Imran Khan.
He denied that he had called anyone and asked them to go on rampage. “The attackers are not workers of my party, they are someone else.” Sources said that the JIT told the PTI head there were video clips in which protesters could be heard chanting his name.
He said that he did not instigate anyone. The people went to the cantonment areas on their own. An investigation team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) interrogated the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman inside the Attock jail, in a case connection with the ‘missing’ US cipher.
Sources said the team was led by a deputy director of the investigation agency and it grilled the former premier for more than one hour. The PTI chief was questioned about the missing of the cipher.
