Islamabad, Aug 22: Members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have asked party members and supporters to demonstrate in the streets in opposition to Imran Khan, the party’s leader and a former Pakistani prime minister, who may be arrested.
This comes after the PTI leader was reportedly charged with terrorism on the complaint of Islamabad Saddar Magistrate Ali Javed for allegedly threatening Zeba Chaudhry, an additional sessions judge for the federal capital.
Additionally, Fawad Chaudhry, a top PTI official, has directed party members to go to the former PM’s Bani Gala home.
Following Imran Khan’s remarks during a PTI rally in F9 Park, the first information report (FIR) was filed with the Margalla police station around 10 p.m. on Saturday.
In a television interview, PTI deputy chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi advised party members to be ready and wait for the party to call for a protest in the event that Imran Khan is detained.
Unauthorized people are apparently not allowed to travel through the pathways that lead to Imran Khan’s Bani Gala property since they have reportedly been closed by the police.
According to ARY News, the Frontier Corps (FC) deployed large contingents and turned out the street lights in Imran Khan Chowk while the police placed barbed wire to close the routes.
The transmission of Imran Khan’s live speeches has been prohibited in the meanwhile by Pakistan’s media regulatory body after he threatened an Islamabad police official and a female magistrate at a speech in Islamabad.
Notably, the former Pakistan Prime Minister has been booked for threatening a judge and two top police officials in a public meeting late Saturday evening.
