Shah Mehmood Qureshi breaks silence over the suspicious telephone call just before Imran Khan’s call for long march

ISLAMABAD: PTI senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday said he can not disclose the name of the person who made the “important” telephone call prior to the press conference of former prime minister Imran Khan a day ago.

On Sunday, moments before the press conference of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi received an "important" phone call, the video of which has gone viral.

It can be seen in the video that when Shah Mahmood Qureshi received the call, Imran Khan laughed and said: “Shut it down, it will be a disturbance.” But Shah Mahmood attended the call and then told Imran Khan the caller had said: “You take the call or we will trap you.” Imran Khan replied, “Do it.”

He said this twice. It is not clear who the caller was and in what context Imran Khan was “threatened” to be trapped.
