The pilot of PTI Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan is allegedly receiving threats, PTI leader Asad Umar has claimed.
Taking to Twitter, federal minister Asad Umar revealed that the pilot who flies Imran Khan to jalsas is receiving threatening phone calls from unknown sources. It remains unknown who threatened the pilot, however, PTI leaders are lashing out at the incumbent government.
“Pilot flying Imran Khan to jalsas getting phone calls and being given threats. How low will they sink! Pakistan under fascism,” Asad Umar tweeted.

Ever since Asad Umar’s revelations surfaced, PTI leaders are accusing the PML-N led government of being behind the threatening phone calls. Former SAPM Dr. Shahbaz Gill warned that if anything happens to Imran Khan, the nation should know who is behind it.

“The pilot of the plane used during PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s meetings is receiving threatening calls from unknown numbers. It seems there is no limit to the use of force. You want to cross the threshold of intimidation. But the fear of the nation is gone,” Shahbaz Gill tweeted.
“If Khan Sahib’s plane was damaged on the ground or in the air, then the nation should remember who is doing all this – first private companies were threatened for giving the plane. Attempts were made to cancel our trips by deliberately malfunctioning planes. Now the pilot of our existing plane is being threatened,” he further added.
اگر خان صاحب کے جہاز کو زمین پر یا فضا میں کوئی نقصان پہنچا تو قوم یاد رکھے کون یہ سب کروا رہے ہیں-پہلے پرائیوٹ کمپنیوں کو جہاز دینےپر دھمکیاں دی گئیں۔زبردستی جہازوں کوخراب ظاہر کروا کر ہمارے سفر کو کینسل کروانے کی کوشش کی گئی۔اب جو جہاز موجود ہے اس کے پائیلٹ کو دھمکایا جا رہا ہے https://t.co/sBtQqGMs7O

Supreme Court should take notice: PTI
Meanwhile, former Federal Minister Babar Awan urged the Supreme Court to take notice of the threats. He also warned that Imran Khan should not be harmed even in the slightest.
“Imran Khan’s pilot just received serious threats. Further evidence of the concerns I expressed a few days ago has emerged. The latest evidence is extremely dangerous. The Supreme Court is requested to take stern notice of this. Imran is the soul of the whole of Pakistan, even his hair should not be harmed,” Babar Awan tweeted.
عمران خان کے پائلٹس کو ابھی سنگین دھمکیاں ملی ہیں۔ جن خدشات کا اظہار میں نے کچھ دن پہلے کیا، اُس کے مزید ثبوت سامنے آگئے ہیں۔ تازہ ثبوت انتہائی خطرناک ہیں۔ سپریم کورٹ سے درخواست ہے اِس کا سختی سے نوٹس لے۔ عمران میں پورے پاکستان کی جان ہے، اُس کا بال بھی بیکا نہیں ہونا چاہیئے۔

Important to note that this is an alarming development as Imran Khan is already facing death threats as claimed by PTI leaders on numerous occasions. Earlier Babar Awan had said that some people have been seen hovering around Bani Gala, behind some high walls and closed rooms, a conspiracy is being hatched to assassinate Imran Khan.
