PTI Chairman Imran Khan claimed Saturday that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is "nervous" nowadays and there's a "strange" fear on his face as he castigated the government for rising inflation — which stands at a record high.
"Shehbaz Sharif has stated that everything has happened because of Imran Khan, so they should have let Imran Khan stay in power," the PTI chairman told a public gathering in Upper Dir.
Khan — ousted through a no-confidence vote in April and only the first premier to be voted out — asked the government that if they "cannot handle" the country's issues, then why did they remove him from power through the alleged "conspiracy".
The PTI chairman has refused to accept the new coalition government and has blamed the United States for backing the no-confidence motion that led to his ouster.
Khan is holding back-to-back jalsas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as he rallies his supporters for marching to the capital once again after he called off his protests in Islamabad last month, claiming that he feared bloodshed.
In today's rally, the PTI chairman said the threat letter — which he claims mentioned the conspiracy against his government — was presented before the National Security Committee (NSC).
"Instead of maintaining the neutral status, they should have stopped the interference. The government that has been imposed on us has darkened the future of the country."
