Quoting sources, Bol News had reported that Imran Khan said this in a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi. He said he did not want to make any change in the FIR.

“We will not back down from our principled stance. The FIR should be lodged against those nominated by me,” he said adding that if someone was proved innocence in the investigation then fine, otherwise full action should be taken against the culprits.

Earlier, the former prime minister had blamed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and an army officer for the attack on him.

Sources had said the former prime minister also directed his party to resume the long march on November 9, instead of November 8.
