Pakistan democracy at an all-time low: Imran Khan
Pakistan's former Premier Imran Khan has claimed democracy in Pakistan is at 'an all-time low'.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman said- in his first interview since being bailed- that the government is 'petrified of elections' and they fear being 'wiped out' by his party at the polls. 'So they have decided that the only way they will allow elections is if I am inside jail or killed.'
Imran Khan revealed that 'there have been two attempts' on his life and his house was raided while he was detained. One of the 'assassination attempts' was in November previous year when Khan was shot in the leg during a rally in Punjab province.
PTI chairman condemned 'all violence' when asked about alleged violence by protesters. 'Democracy is at an all-time low. The only hope we have is the judiciary,' he said.
It comes after he was arrested earlier this week on corruption charges, then released on bail on Friday following a ruling from Pakistan's High Court.
