Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Rana Sanaullah, made a shocking revelation on Sunday. He claimed that intelligence agencies had intercepted a phone call exposing a plan by some individuals associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to stage a fake encounter and a rape incident.
The purpose of these staged events, as per the minister, was to tarnish the reputation of the government and institutions in the eyes of the international media, according to local media reports.
Addressing a hastily called news conference in the early hours, Minister Rana Sanaullah shared the details of the intercepted call without disclosing the identities of the individuals involved or making the conversation public.
He stated that the call discussed two distinct plans. The first plan involved a raid on the house of a PTI worker, during which shots would be fired, potentially resulting in casualties.
The aim was to present this incident as evidence of severe human rights violations taking place in Pakistan, thus painting a negative picture of the government.
The second plan, according to the minister, involved an orchestrated act of rape. The recording of this heinous act was intended to be shared with global media outlets to propagate allegations of abuse against the PTI.
The minister emphasized that these plans were likely to be executed on Saturday night, prompting him to disclose the details to the nation through televised media after midnight.
Minister Sanaullah alleged that the motive behind these staged events was to shift the blame onto intelligence and law enforcement agencies for the fake encounter of a PTI worker during the so-called raid, as well as the fabricated rape incident.
The exact identities of the individuals behind the plot and their motives remain undisclosed at this stage.
The intercepted phone call has sent shockwaves through the country, raising concerns about the integrity of political rivalries and the potential manipulation of events to serve personal agendas.
The government has vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
The PTI, one of the major political parties in Pakistan, has not yet issued an official statement regarding these allegations. (Edited).
