Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), has charged Imran Khan, former prime minister and head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Sunday (November 06, 2022) of “theatrics” in response to the shooting he encountered last week.
The head of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) claimed during a news conference that the former Pakistani prime minister is a much superior actor compared to Bollywood’s Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, Pakistani news outlet The Express Tribune reported.
Maulana Rehman was quoted as saying, “I don't understand his dramas, a joint investigation team should be formed on Imran Khan’s lies.”

He claimed that “a lie” is being spread about the shooting, saying that although he first condemned the incident, “things came to light” over time.
The PDM chief remarked, “One shot, two shots, four shots or fragments; we have heard of bomb fragments, but bullet fragments we are hearing for the first time.”
He also questioned the method by which a cancer hospital delivered bone treatment. He added that he discovered the existence of the jugular vein in the shin for the first time.

He added that whereas it took the marchers five to six days to go from Lahore to Gujranwala, it just took an hour after Imran was hit.
Former Pakistan PM and PTI head Imran Khan used to refer to everyone as a thief, according to the PDM chief, “but he turned out to be one as well”.
