CHARGES ON IMRAN KHAN
Earlier this month, Imran Khan was booked on charges of murder and terrorism along with 400 other people. This came after a clash was reported between the police personnel and Tehreek-e-Insaf members during the party’s rally which also left one activist dead and many injured. The police had also arrested more than 100 PTI workers for the same.
As per news sources, another FIR was lodged against Imran Khan and the senior PTI leaders on Thursday, for attacking police personnel and using foul language.
In the beginning of the month, a non-bailable arrest warrant had been issued against Imran Khan related to the Toshakhana case. A plea to withdraw the arrest warrant was made by Khan but was rejected by the court.
The PTI Chairman Imran Khan stated on Sunday that the current coalition government ruling the country wants him arrested. He reasoned that it would help them win the upcoming elections as, otherwise, they would not be able to defeat Imran Khan in elections, even with the help of neutrals.
Imran Khan talked about the country being in a “quagmire” and said that there is no other way to get out of such a situation except through transparent elections.
Apart from this he also slammed the coalition government by claiming that they transferred Pakistani money to offshore accounts.
The ex-Prime Minister said that only the judiciary could save the country from the mess that it has plunged into.
