TI Chairman Imran Khan addressing a jalsa in Buner, on June 3, 2022
BUNER: PTI Chairman Imran Khan Friday warned the government against filing a treason case against him after reports emerged that key officials were mulling over the idea.

Key federal government officials deliberated over going ahead with filing treason charges against Khan and the chief ministers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan over PTI's May 25 "Azadi March" during a special committee meeting of the cabinet.

"Can Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif file treason cases against me? All of their properties are in foreign countries," the PTI chairman said, claiming that the ex-president had sought the United States' help against the Pakistani Army.

"And can Nawaz Sharif, who has taken four properties worth billions in London, decide whether I am a traitor?" Khan said, adding: "The only reason why the government is against me is that they know once I am out of the way, it makes it easier for them to siphon the country's money to foreign countries."

The PTI chairman claimed the coalition government — which was formed with the help of a US-backed conspiracy — knows that the people were still backing him, therefore, they have now decided to file a sedition case.

'Atom bomb'
Khan also took the government to task for the back-to-back increase in the price of petroleum products, saying that they have "dropped an atom bomb on the nation".

The ousted prime minister said during his 3.5 years in government, the petrol prices were hiked by Rs56, but during the present government's "60 days in power", it has gone by Rs60.

The PTI chairman said his government increased electricity per unit by Rs6 and the present government has hiked it by Rs10 in just two months.

Khan said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had pressurised his government as well to increase the price of power and petroleum products, but there was a difference between him and the present government — "all their" leaders reside out of the country.
