PTI central leader Fawad Chaudhry said that a petition will be filed in the SC Peshawar Registry on Monday (tomorrow) for the registration of an FIR against the gun attack on Imran Khan.

Fawad added that the political party will seek the SC’s attention on the non-registration of the FIR after the assassination attempt on Imran Khan during the PTI’s long march in which one person was killed and 13 others sustained injuries.
The PTI leader claimed that the police rejected to lodge an FIR after being pressurised by the government.
PTI’s provincial minister Shaukat Yousafzai said in a statement that a petition will be filed in the SC to seek the attention of the chief justice on the gun attack on Imran Khan, senior journalist Arshad Sharif’s assassination and inhumane conduct with the PTI Senator Azam Swati.
