The PPP issued a formal notice to PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Monday and demanded an unconditional apology for fabricated and outrageous remarks alleging that PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was plotting his assassination.

Last week, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is recovering at his Lahore residence following a gun attack on him near Wazirabad last year, accused Zardari of being part of a plot to get rid of him.

He had alleged that after two failed assassination attempts, the four people he believed had hatched a plot to kill him with the PPP leader, had now prepared a plan C to eliminate him.

The legal notice, a copy of which is available on Dawn.com, referred to Imrans’ January 27 video address to party officials in which, according to the notice, he said: Asif Zardari poured his corruption money to a terrorist organization backed by enablers from a powerful state agency to launch another attack on me.

He declared baseless accusations of a malicious and defamatory nature that you attempted to defame our client nationally and internationally.

Moreover, he added, that by your defamatory, slanderous, scandalous remarks and your allegations of a serious nature, you attempted to create a link between our client and terrorist organizations, blindly ignoring the fact that our client and his party remained victims of terrorism.

The notice, served through the PPP’s legal adviser, Farooq H. Naek, states that former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the plaintiff’s wife, was also assassinated by terrorists.

Furthermore, in your statements, you stated that our client, using bribery money, is hatching a new plan to allegedly assassinate you despite the fact that our client has been languishing in prison for almost eight years in bogus cases, fabricated, fabricated and concocted, including bribery. cases and none of them were proven against him and he was honorably acquitted in all of these cases, the notice states.

He called on Imran to issue an unconditional apology on TV, in print and on social media, within 14 days of receiving the notice.

The PPP has warned Imran to take legal action in the event of non-compliance.

If you fail to do so, you will be compelled to take appropriate legal action against you, both civil and criminal, in the competent courts and tribunals of Pakistan as well as England, including, but not limited to, an action in damages for Rs. 10,000,000,000/- (Rs1 billion) at your risk as to cost and consequences, according to the notice.
