On the firing incident on Imran Khan, PM Shehbaz said it was an unfortunate incident. They said there was a conspiracy behind it, if Imran Khan had evidence of conspiracy then he should present it, he said. He said he should not remain the prime minister for a second if he had evidence.

The federal government had sent the Punjab government a letter, and shared whatever the information it had found, he said. “We were told that there were security concerns while Imran Khan was holding rallies,” he said.
