Sanaullah trying to cover up rights abuses, says Imran

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday called out Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for trying to "cover up" the ill-treatment of party workers, especially women, currently under custody.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, in a post-midnight presser, claimed intelligence agencies had intercepted a conversation indicating that the PTI was planning two separate actions, which he termed "dramas".

Without offering further details, the minister said the intercept revealed the Khan-led party was planning some action at a specific residence, without offering any further details. 

Reacting to his presser, the former prime minister said Sanaullah is "so obviously trying to cover up and preempt the horror stories about to break in the media."
