"The performance of this government is witnessed by everyone," he said adding "We [PTI] went from terrorism to tourism and the situation has worsened again."

ARY news further quotes him as saying that "the current rulers removed their names from the exit control list (ECL) and later destroyed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)."

Imran Khan further alleged that the FIA "was tasked to lodge cases against PTI and now, overall 144 cases including 40 terrorism cases were lodged against me."

He also claimed that the Shehbaz Khan government tried to assassinate him.

"The government was bound to give me security but it failed. They issued a warrant for Bani Gala's residence and the DIG raided Zaman Park. They tried to assassinate me like Salman Taseer," alleged the PTI chief.

Khan went on to say that the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the assassination attempt on him was sabotaged and that later his residence was attacked in an attempt to "kill me like Murtaza Bhutto."

In a Tweet, the former Pakistan prime ministeralso expressed concern about the current government's actions and said that "dangerous ruling buffoons" are making a mockery of Pakistan "abroad."

"The dangerous ruling buffoons don't realise the damage they are doing to Pak's image abroad by sham FIRs & absurd sedition charges against a former PM for using terms 'Dirty Harry' & 'psycopath'! They are making a mockery of Pakistan," he wrote.

Referring to the recent Supreme Court order in the Punjab polls delaycase, he asked "what msg is being sent to foreign investors when govt itself is not accepting SC decisions? Investors need the security of contracts & that means faith in judicial system. What confidence can they have when govt itself casting aside SC orders? This happens in a banana republic."
