Won’t let Pakistan police arrest Imran Khan: Hundreds of PTI supporters camp outside ex-PM house | WATCH

Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s home at Zaman Park has turned into fortress with police vehicles lined outside and heavy security personnel deployed in the area to arrest him. However, supporters and workers of his party Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf reached before cops and have been campaigning outside the house.

Videos from outside Khan’s residence in Lahore have gone viral on social media. They show Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) workers and supporters of the former prime minister waving party flags, carrying banners and chanting slogans in their bid to resist his arrest.

Imran Khan has been booked for protesting outside the Pakistan Election Commission office after he was barred from contesting elections for five years. He has been on bail on medical grounds.

On Wednesday, Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad said Khan had been given adequate time to appear before the court but he had failed to do so, while his lawyer in his argument urged the judicial body to grant one-time exemption to former Pakistan PM from in-person appearance as he had not recovered completely from a gun attack late last year.

The judge refused to accept the plea and ordered that Khan should appear before the court stating that no further relief could be given to a “powerful person” like him.

The judge refused to extend the interim bail, leaving Khan vulnerable to police arrest.
