Islamabad [Pakistan], June 7 : Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Monday sarcastically said he would "take responsibility" if any of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) law members tried to take their own lives.
This comes after PTI party lawmaker Attaullah has threatened Shehbaz Sharif's government to carry out a suicide attack if even a "single hair strand" of party Chairman Imran Khan's head is harmed, adding that his partymen are ready to carry "suicide attacks".
"The state will not be blackmailed by these things," said Sanaullah during Geo News' programme - "Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Ke Saath."
The interior minister said, "Imran Khan has committed crime [...] we have evidence against him."
"PTI chairman should be arrested and presented before the court," he adds.
Sanaullah said that the former prime minister launched an anarchy campaign across the country. "He [Khan] has obtained interim bail, so he should come and present his argument before the court and the government will also present its stance," he added.
He reiterated that no false case has been registered against any of the PTI members.
