Islamabad: Saturday, Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Zafar Iqbal cancelled the arrest warrants for PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case. He did this after he let Khan go back after he showed up outside the Islamabad Judicial Complex.
The hearing is now postponed until March 30 (Thursday). Because there was a lot of trouble and chaos today when police and PTI workers fought.
People inside the courtroom had trouble because of the teargas used by the police.
PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi told that “all legal process [for the signature] has been completed” and that Imran was leaving the Judicial Complex.
Qureshi also said that the actions of the police in Punjab and Islamabad against the PTI were very bad.
Imran said in an audio message that was sent to the media, “I’ve been waiting outside the door of the [judicial complex] for 15 minutes and am trying to get in, but they’ve been firing tear gas and setting up checkpoints, so it seems like they don’t want me to get here.”
Even so, he said again and again that he was outside the complex and trying to get inside.
The leader of the PTI was supposed to go to the court of ADSJ Iqbal. The ECP said that the PTI leader hid information about gifts in his asset declarations.
Imran left his home in Lahore just after 8 a.m. and said in a video message that he expected someone to try to arrest him.
The police said that protesters set fire to one of their vehicles.
In turn, the PTI said that the police had fired at Imran’s car. PTI Senator Ejaz Chaudhary wrote on Twitter that Imran’s car was outside the courts in sector G11 and that there was “intense shelling on IK car right now!”
Moreover, President Dr. Arif Alvi said about the day’s events, “Another day in the life of Pakistan has passed without a disaster. […] Narrow escape. Any big disaster could have happened.”
The president called on all politicians to work together to take the country out of its current issues.
Maryam Nawaz, the senior vice president of the PML-N, made a joke about the head of the PTI by calling him a “jackal”
