Pakistan police attempt to arrest ex-PM Imran Khan

Al Jazeera  

Islamabad police officials travelled to Lahore to arrest the former Pakistan PM from his residence. On Tuesday, an Islamabad sessions court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Khan for avoiding hearings in connection with the illegal purchase and sale of gifts received from foreign dignitaries when he was prime minister. Following the police’s attempt to arrest him, Khan addressed workers from his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party at his Zaman Park home and said he is being summoned for “fake cases” and that his life was under threat. Islamabad police inspector general, Akbar Nasir Khan, told Geo News TV channel that the team went to Lahore to arrest Khan, not just to serve the warrant. “They want Imran Khan to go to court where security is lax and there’s a risk to his life.” PTI vice chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said discussions with the party’s legal team will take place before deciding on any future course of action later on Sunday.
