"I have no doubt that the blasts are happening with the connivance of forces that are sitting outside the country and those inside [the country]," Imran Khan railed today while referring to multiple incidents of targeting of political personalities.

"The purpose of this is to get elections postponed and cause damage to the country and we want to tell them today ... no jalsas of PTI will be cancelled and Inshallah we will continue to hold jalsas until July 23."

He also repeated his assertion that bomb blasts and tensions on the LoC begin whenever "a leader" is in trouble in Pakistan, a reference to PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif, who returned home last night only to be arrested in connection with a corruption reference against him.
