(MENAFN) Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has requested that President Arif Alvi launch an investigation into a news conference given by Pakistan's strong intelligence service, which he accuses of organizing the attack on him.

Khan mentioned the event hosted last month by Lieutenant General Nadeem Anjum, chief of Inter-Services Intelligence, in a letter to the president (ISI).

“How can two military bureaucrats do a highly Political press conference targeting the leader of the largest federal political party,” according to Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.

Anjum was accompanied by Lieutenant General Babar Iftikhar, the commander of the military's media branch, Inter-Services Public Relations, during the historic press conference on October 27. (ISPR).

Khan is recuperating at home in Lahore after being released from the hospital on Sunday. He was shot in the leg in a suspected murder attempt last week at a protest rally in Wazirabad, Punjab's eastern region.

“I am requesting you to act now to stop the abuse of power and violations of our laws and constitutions,” he stated, also asking that the president define ISPR’s role.
