He went on to say: “The two main political parties in Pakistan, rather than being democratic, have descended into mafia. “I knew that when I joined politics to run against these parties 26 years ago. The mafia operate in two ways – either they buy you or they eliminate you.” In another interview with The Telegraph, the former prime minister once again said another attempt on his life could take place. “Yes, I feel that there would be another attempt [on my life] unless Pakistan’s Supreme Court takes up the issue,” he admits.
During an interview with NPR, PTI Chairman Imran Khan was asked about whether he thought he would be able to work with the military if he returned to power, especially in light of his recent allegations of a senior official plotting to kill him. “Well, you know, the military has its own good and bad … I think the military recognises that. I think that the members in the military do make mistakes.” He was asked about his remarks in which he said he no longer “blamed” the US administration for his removal from power. “Is it because my government has gone that I should harbor a grudge with the US forever? No, because it’s not about me. It’s about my country … We have to move forward, and and we have to have a new type of relationship with the US, which I’ve always said. “Unfortunately, our relationships in the past have been very lopsided. There really been a sort of master-slave type of relationship which has been very demeaning, humiliating for people of Pakistan,” he said.
