The Punjab home department has issued a chilling warning that India’s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) has planned an assassination plot against the Pakistani Premier.
After issuance of warning letter law enforcement and intelligence authorities have tightened the security of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other high-profile personalities.
The Punjab Home Department issued the notification on October 9.
In the notification, the Punjab home department stated that RAW, in collusion with some banned organisations, could hit important political personalities, including Premier Nawaz.
The home department has directed the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to strengthen security of the premier and Hafiz Saeed, who heads the banned Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) – both of whom, according to the government, are likely targets. Among other likely targets are high-profile personalities, some of whom are part of the present government.
The IG Office, CCPO, DIG Security, DIG Operations and other relevant sub-departments providing security to high-profile personalities have reviewed and reinforced their security plans for the premier in the federal capital of Islamabad, as well as the provincial capital of Lahore.
