Pakistan authorities gear up for Imran Khan's supporters at his court hearing

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan police imposed an emergency order banning gatherings as supporters of Imran Khan were expected to march to the capital on Friday where the former prime minister will appear for a court hearing.

Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party said thousands of"peaceful Pakistanis" from across the country will gather in Islamabad in solidarity with their leader. His arrest aggravated instability in the country of 220 million people at a time of severe economic crisis - with record high inflation, anaemic growth and a delayed IMF funding - and escalated Khan's tussle with the powerful military.Khan's supporters clashed with police

The army has warned Khan's supporters that it will respond firmly if there are further attacks on its assets, saying in a statement on Wednesday that the violence on its installations was"pre-planned" and ordered by his party leadership.
