Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Usman Dar on Wednesday accused the incarcerated party chairman Imran Khan of masterminding the May 9 events and directly ordering to attack the sensitive installations. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The PTI leader Usman Dar has surprisingly appeared on a private news channel after his mysterious disappearance for weeks. While talking to a private news channel, he said that the PTI chairman was the mastermind of the May 9 events.<\/p>\n

He detailed that the planning of the May 9 riots was finalised in a meeting held at Zaman Park under the chair of the PTI chief. The PTI chairman had directly instructed party leaders to target sensitive installations if he was arrested.<\/p>\n

Making more revelations, Dar claimed that PTI\u2019s long march in October 22 aimed to stop appointment of General Asim Munir as the army chief. \u201cMay 9 riots were started to pressurise the military to remove General Asim Munir from the top post.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usman Dar blamed the PTI chief for using the party workers as \u2018a human shield to avoid facing arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He claimed that the brainwashing of the PTI workers resulted in the Judicial Complex Islamabad and Zaman Park events.<\/p>\n

Dar alleged that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman supported an anti-state narrative and he himself was responsible for the current status of the political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe May 9 riot was a shameful incident which must be strongly condemned. PTI\u2019s pillars were shaken after carrying out such attacks on the national institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elaborating other plans, Usman Dar claimed that May 9 was just a date of some events but the conspiracy to target the Pakistan Army was prepared for a long time ago. \u201cPTI chairman fully supported the policy of confrontation with the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

He claimed that Hammad Azhar, Murad Saeed, Azam Swati and Farrukh Habib belonged to the anti-establishment lobby in the political party who were closest to the PTI chairman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
