Man Claims Conspiracy to Attack Ex-PM Khan Hatched in London
2022-11-22
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Tasneem Haider Shah, a man claiming to be a spokesperson of the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N), has alleged that the conspiracies to attack former Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
and the murder of journalist Arshad Sharif were hatched in London, according to sources.

Earlier, video clips from Shah’s presser started doing rounds on social media, which were also shared by the several Pakistain Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders.

In the clips, Shah claimed that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
was part of the plot to murder slain journalist Arshad Sharif and the attempted liquidation on former Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

According to The Siasat Daily, Shah told news hounds he had at least three meetings with PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif in the office of his son Hassan Nawaz, alleging that he was called to kill the journalist and the former premier.

According to Shah, the first meeting was held on July 8, the second on September 20 and the third on October 29, where he was told Arshad Sharif and Khan should be removed before the appointment of the new army chief.

However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
Shah added that he refused.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, a new, even louder, voice was to be heard...
Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday clarified that Tasneem Haider Shah had no link or anything to do with the ruling party, rejecting startling allegations made by him.

Responding to the allegations, Aurangzeb categorically said that Shah was not the PML-N London branch’s spokesperson and had no relation with the party.

"No one should try to become [the] party spokesperson by force," she said, adding that if Shah had any evidence regarding Arshad Sharif’s murder then he should present it before the forum of the joint investigation team.
