On Saturday, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s residence invaded by local Punjab Police as he reached at a court in Islamabad to appear in the Toshakhana case after days of standoff and severe conflicts between local police and his party supporters around the residence. Khan said the police entered his house where his wife Bushra Bibi was alone, arguing that the “assault” on his house was part of a quid pro quo to bring Nawaz Sharif back to power.
Meanwhile Punjab police have led an assault on my house in Zaman Park where Bushra Begum is alone. Under what law are they doing this? This is part of London Plan where commitments were made to bring absconder Nawaz Sharif to power as quid pro quo for agreeing to one appointment.”
Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan tweeted.
PTI tweeted a video, saying they’re now trying to enter Chairman’s house where only Bushra Bibi is present. We don’t even see these kinds of acts in Martial laws!!
Khan appeared before the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Zafar Iqbal to observe proceedings on the complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for allegedly covering details of gifts in his assets declarations.
Earlier today, the former PM said he was aware that the government would arrest him as he headed to the Islamabad court. Khan’s tweeted a video message earlier today that I am going to court despite knowing they’ll arrest me because I believe in the rule of law.
