ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Thursday accused Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Syed Khursheed Shah, Lleader of the Opposition in the National Assembly of making their own `London Plan` while in the UK to `tackle` PTFs ongoing protests.

`The government and the opposition alleged that the chiefs of PTI and the Pakistan Awaami Tehreek (PAT) met in London to try and derail the Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz government, but I believe that the prime minister and the leader of the opposition are busy making the real `London Plan Mr Khan told participants at PTPs sit-in at D-Chowk.

`Do you think we planned to continue this sit-in for 92 days,` Mr Khan asked, rhetori-cally. `It is not possible for every one. Only a `madman` lil(e Imran Khan can continue a sitin for over three months,` the PTI chief added.

He claimed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Syed Khursheed Shah, the Leader of the Opposition were staying at the same hotel in London. `Mr Nawaz Sharif and Mr Asif Ali Zardari are scared because I am going to address a public rally in Larkana on November 21 and in Islamabad on November 30,` he said.

`I will quit politics if the government succeeds in proving in court that I was behind the attack on Pakistan Television (PTV),` Mr Khan challenged.

he said that he was sleeping inside his container at time of the attack and it was a habit of the government to routinely register FIRs against political rivals to perpetuate its rule.

`Seventeen people, including women losttheir lives in the Model Town incident and no arrest warrants were issued for anyone involved,` Mr Khan said.

`It will be very easy for me to live in prison because I have already been living inside a container for 21 days,` he added.

The PTI chief announced that he would continue his struggle until his last breath and vowed that PTI would not turn violence.

He alleged that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was involved in laundering money for the Sharif brothers, while former President Asif Ali Zardari is also involved in money laundering.

`Mian Sahib, you need to invest your own money inside Pakistan before bringing foreign investment in the country,` the PTI chief said.

Mr Khan also questioned the eligibility of Hanif Abbasi, former PML-N MNA from Rawalpindi, to head the metro bus project.
