I don't know whether you read that part (in the letter) about the consequences. That is life-threatening," Vawda told a TV channel."There has been a mention of assassinating Imran Khan sahab."When pressed if Vawda meant that the plan to assassinate the Prime Minister was also mentioned in the letter, he responded that the letter gave the "impression of assassination killing".The PTI leader added that despite the threats to his life, the Prime Minister was a "brave man" who will neither accept dollars or allow bases to be built in the country, alluding to the US' request to set up military bases in Pakistan.The development a day after the premier, during a nearly hour-long live address to the nation, vowed to foil "an international conspiracy" hatched against his government by opposition leaders and their alleged handlers ahead of the no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.In an apparent 'slip of tongue', he revealed that the US was the country behind the "threat letter".Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
