RAWALPINDI: Leading his 'accountability movement' rally on Saturday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan narrowly escaped falling prey to what could have been two serious accidents.

During the first close encounter, the driver of the truck on top of which Imran and other PTI leaders were standing did not notice a bridge up ahead. The PTI chairman and other leaders had to duck to escape being hit by the overheard bridge.

The second close call took place at Katcheri Chowk when Imran stumbled as he climbed on top of the container. The PTI chairman again narrowly escaped falling off the tall container.

The former-cricketer-turned-politician once sustained serious injuries in 2013, when he injured his head and back after falling from a lifter to climb on the stage set for a rally in Lahore.

Imran claims being blackmailed for speaking about Panama Papers

As PTI chairman Imran Khan continued to lead his “accountabilty movement” on Saturday he demanded to know if the government existed only to hurl allegations.

Atop his container at Katcheri Chowk in Rawalpindi, Imran Khan said that he was being blackmailed for speaking about the Panama Papers.

He asked why the government was not doing anything to bring back the $60 million allegedly stashed away by former President Asif Ali Zardari.
