“Imran Khan was in the process of getting his biometrics done. I was there in the room,” said PTI lawyer Ali Bukhari. “The Rangers told us to open the doors, but the police objected – but then the Rangers personnel broke the windows and entered the room. Rangers tortured everyone who was present in the room.”
“Come to court and tell us why Imran has been arrested and in which case,” Farooq said. He grew very angry when it took 45 minutes for the summoned officials to show up in his courtroom and they had trouble explaining exactly what Khan was arrested for. The National Accountability Bureau is Pakistan’s autonomous federal anti-corruption agency. The NAB confirmed on Tuesday morning that it sent the Rangers to arrest Khan, apparently without informing the Islamabad High Court or the Lahore inspector general they were coming.
PTI officials claimed the government moved against Khan because he accused an unnamed senior intelligence official of plotting to assassinate him to keep Sharif in power, an allegation heon Tuesday morning before departing for the Islamabad High Court. He has yet to provide any evidence to support these allegations.
“I will prove that ISI were present in CTD uniforms and lawyers’ garb. I will prove that a bradier, who I will not name, was there to monitor everything. What was the ISI doing there?” he said. “Did you not resort to constant mud-slinging of the leadership of the army and intelligence agency much before the Wazirabad attack?” Sharif asked Khan, accusing his predecessor of using political influence and mob tactics to pervert the justice system.
