\nTaking to Twitter, he said: \u201cWhen Ali Amin was abducted, the DPO told sessions judge in DIK [Dera Ismail Khan] that he would take a contempt charge but had to take custody of Ali Amin as orders came from above.
\n\u201cToday, my security in-charge Iftikhar Ghumman has been abducted. This is all part of the London Plan where Nawaz Sharif was given assurances PTI would be crushed.
\n\u201cSo now people close to me, along with my leadership, are being harassed, abducted, tortured and confronted with sham cases across Pakistan in total violation of the Constitution and rule of law,\u201d Imran Khan further said in the tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
