PTI Chairman Imran Khan had also complained about the anonymous threatening calls to his party members. The former prime minister claims the two individuals, understood to be from national security institutions, are leading an effort to overthrow the coalition government in Punjab. He claimed that they were calling PTI and PML-Q lawmakers and either tempting them with bribes or coercing them to change their allegiances. Imran repeated his allegations about the two in the Chakwal rally and called on the people to threaten them back.
