PTI leader Asad Umar on Thursday claimed that the former premier Imran Khan was warned that the powerful people would turn against him if he visited Russia, adding that the PTI chief “ignored all warnings” in the best interest of Pakistan.
“Imran was advised that the powerful will turn against him if he visited Russia, but the PTI chief paid no heed to such warnings in the better interest of the country,” Asad Umar said while addressing the PTI supporters in Jhelum, he said Imran proceeded with the Russia trip with the “aim to arrange cheap oil” for Pakistan.
Former finance minister announced that his party’s public gathering in Rawalpindi in the coming days will be the “biggest ever.” He said that the PTI will neither get threatened nor will the party bow down before anyone.

“We won’t hide behind bulletproof glass. We will keep standing with all our supporters and we will win at the end of our struggle,” he said.
Earlier, Asad Umar said that the assassination plot was hatched against Imran to put an end to his activities because the government knew he was not afraid of going to jail.
Addressing his supporters, a day earlier via video link, Imran stated that the trail of the sale of gifts from Toshakhana was available in government records. His remarks came during an online address to his party’s long march, and after he was accused of corruption and selling gifts given to him when he was prime minister.
Imran said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Asif Ali Zardari “took out four cars from Toshakhana during their tenures and cases against them are still pending.”
He also stated that the government was amending the Pakistan Army Act 1952 for “its personal gains.”
“Nawaz Sharif has not made a single appointment on merit throughout multiple tenures.”
