NEW DELHI: “My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist,” Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaaf chairman Imran Khan tweeted on Tuesday. The tweet came following his bail in all the four cases regarding an attack on Pakistan Television (PTV) headquarters in 2014.
Khan said this verdict proved he was not a terrorist. Exploiting anti-terrorism law for political gains would harm democracy, he said and alleged that the law was used to settle scores with opponents.
He said if his party was elected to power, it would resolve issues plaguing the country and predicted that his party would be in power after next general elections.
The PTI chief said former premier Nawaz Sharif was desperate for reconciliation like NRO and if he succeeded in getting off the hook, he would ask for opening the doors of all prisons.
Responding to criticism of him for allegedly being a blue-eyed person of the judiciary, he explained he was deemed so because he respected the law and presented himself for accountability for a year.
