ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan Monday admitted that neither had Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) DGC Maj Gen Faisal Naseer threatened him directly nor does he have any evidence to substantiate his allegations against him.

Imran Khan said this in a signed statement before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing his allegations against top military officials.

The JIT session was held at office of Islamabad Police DIG (operations) for FIR no 255/23, registered in Ramna Police Station against Imran Khan. The JIT told Imran contents of the FIR and video clips were shown to him in which he levelled baseless allegations against the ISI DGC for torture, plan of killing him and others where he alleged the DGI and Army Chief.

The PTI chief owned all the contents of the clips.

Following questions were asked from Imran:

JIT: Do (you) own clips?

Imran: Yes.

JIT: Do u have any proof of your allegations you can present?

Imran: No.

JIT: Do Gen Faisal directly threatened you?

Imran: No.

JIT: Then why (you) levelled allegations?

Imran: Someone told me.

JIT: Any proof or evidence you have?

Imran: No.

JIT: Why you named DGI?

Imran: He did press conference.

JIT: Have you met Gen Faisal?

Imran: No.

JIT: To whom you say Dirty Harry?

Imran: Gen Faisal.

After the question-answer session Imran Khan said: “I own all my (video) clips, now I need to go.”

The JIT proceedings were recorded on paper and got signed by Imran Khan.
