'The London plot'-I

28 Sep, 2014

Now the curtain is being lifted from what was the "London Plot". Imran initially denied having a one to one meeting with Qadri in June in London. However, Qadri let the cat out of the bag and admitted meeting Imran in London last June. Qadri is a very clever person. The question is why he came out with the truth at this stage? Is he trying to show that Imran is a liar? Is he trying to go on an independent path to exit?
The first person to come out with the truth was the president of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Javed Hashmi. He revealed that the core committee of PTI had decided not to march on to the Prime Minister's House but on receiving a message from "somewhere" Imran ordered to march on. He also alleged that the message was conveyed by Sheikh Rashid and Saifullah Niazi. Hashmi also alleged that Shah Mahmood Qureshi used to secretly meet US diplomats. Hashmi thereafter resigned from his membership of the National Assembly. Hashmi also revealed that Rs 300 million (30 crore) had been spent on the sit-in including the DJ Butt's bill of Rs 45 million.
This was followed by the revelation in the programme Aapas-ki-Baat that the meeting between Imran and Qadri did indeed take place in June 2014 in the premises of a Pakistani millionaire in Curzon Street, Mayfair, London. Now it will be difficult for Imran to deny having a meeting with Qadri. He has to now explain what was planned and agreed to in this meeting.
