Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), will be arrested at any time on Sunday in connection with a prohibited funding case. Meanwhile, PTI leaader Fawad Ch has asked the supporters to reach Zaman Park immediately.
According to local media reports, a team of Islamabad police officials arrived in the provincial capital with arrest warrants for the defiant leader, who has been charged in a slew of cases since being deposed.
The news comes just days after the Islamabad district and sessions court issued an arrest warrant for Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case.
As Islamabad police arrived in the city to apprehend the populist leader, leaders and workers of former ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf started gathering outside the residence of the party chief to block his arrest.
It was reported that law enforcers may disperse crowds, possibly leading to clashes with charged activists of PTI who are flocking outside the PTI chief’s office on the call of senior party officials.
In a social media post, Fawad Chaudhry urged workers to throng Zaman Park. The former minister warned that any attempt to arrest the PTI chief will worsen the deteriorating situation, and warned the ruling alliance not to push the country into further crisis and act sensibly.
عمران خان کی گرفتاری کی کوئ بھی کوشش حالات کو شدید خراب کر دے گی، میں اس نا اھل اور پاکستان دشمن حکومت کو خبردار کرنا چاہ رہا پاکستان کو مزید بحران میں نہ دھکیلیں اور ہوش سے کام لیں، کارکنان زمان پارک پہنچ جائیں
