Fearing arrest, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leaders have begun approaching courts to request protective bail.
Party leaders Ali Zaidi, Khurram Sher Zaman, Jamal Siddiqui, Firdaus Shamim Naqvi Arsalan Taj, and others petitioned the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday, requesting that the police not arrest them in connection with two cases filed against them in Karachi’s Ferozabad and Soldier Bazaar police stations.
Similarly, PTI Karachi President and MPA Bilal Ghaffar, along with his counsel Abdul Majeed Khoso, appeared before the SHC in connection with the hearing of his petition against the raid on his home and his arrest.
LHC requests a report on the failure to release PTI activists.
On the other hand, the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered the Punjab home department to submit a report to it as soon as possible regarding the arrest of PTI workers in connection with the party’s long march.
During the hearing of the PTI workers’ detention case, Justice Chaudhry Abdul Aziz asked the government’s counsel why those taken into custody had not been released so far.
He also asked them to report to the court the number of people injured and killed, as well as the damage, is done to people’s property during the march.
