Imran Khan: As authorities stepped up their efforts to arrest Imran Khan in Lahore’s Zaman Park on Wednesday in connection with a corruption case, he was spotted wearing a gas mask while ostensibly meeting with supporters. Imran Khan is the former Pakistani prime minister and chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.
Imran Khan takes drastic measures to avoid arrest
Imran Khan can be seen wearing a gas mask in a video that cricket player Shaharyar Ejaz posted. “Captain leading from the Front,” he tweeted. The PTI head said the effort to arrest him was “mere drama” since “the actual purpose is to abduct and assassinate.” This footage was released at the same time.
Political vendetta suspected as Imran Khan faces arrest
“Since the true purpose is to kidnap and assassinate, it is obvious that the “arrest” story was theatre. They have switched to live firing from tear gas and water guns. Last night, I put my name on a surety bond, but the DIG wouldn’t even look at it. There is no question about their sincere malice “He tweeted the day before. He alleged that police assaulted party members and the leadership, attacking them with “tear gas, cannons with chemical water, rubber bullets, and real bullets.” “Is this your notion of neutrality, Rangers directly confronting unarmed protestors & leadership of major pol party when their leader is facing an illegal warrant & case already in court & when govt of crooks trying to abduct & potentially murder him?” the former prime minister questioned the establishment.
Tension and uncertainty as Imran Khan faces corruption charges
When rebellious 70-year-old Khan’s fans fought fiercely with police officers on Tuesday to prevent them from arresting their leader in the Toshakhana case, the Zaman Park area of Lahore has become a battleground, injuring people on both sides. The injured were taken to hospitals in Lahore, and police detained a large number of Khan’s followers. According to hospital sources cited by Geo News, at least 54 cops and eight civilians have been hurt in the ongoing battles since Tuesday afternoon. To comply with the court’s instructions to arrest Khan in the Toshakhana case, the police surrounded his residence while wearing riot gear.
