In his address, Khan said the ruling coalition is deliberately trying to create a conflict between his party and the powerful army. A man named Imran Khan used to be in charge of Pakistan, and he wants people to investigate the fighting that happened after he got arrested. He says he and his friends didn’t cause any trouble at the army and government buildings.
He made the demand in an address to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers from his Zaman Park residence here via video link, as the government deployed police near his house and an operation to arrest lay a hand on him is expected any time soon.
Ahead of his address, Khan said in a tweet that police had surrounded his house in an upscale area of Punjab’s provincial capital Lahore and he could be arrested
“Probably my last tweet before my next arrest. Police has (sic) surrounded my house,” the 70-year-old leader tweeted.
In his address, Khan said the ruling coalition is deliberately trying to create a conflict between his party and the powerful army.
“The cases that are being filed under military laws… it never happened before that without any investigation or independent inquiry. It was suddenly decided that PTI is a terrorist organisation,” Khan said, adding that 7,500 workers of his party have been arrested.
He said he criticises the army the same way he criticises his children, which is for reform.
“The Pakistan Democratic Movement is trying for a confrontation between the army and PTI…But who will come out as the winner in this?” he asked.
