PTI chairman Imran Khan has strongly condemned the arrest of Ali Zaidi.

“Strongly condemn the arrest of another of our senior leaders, Ali Zaidi from Karachi. All part of the London Plan where Nawaz gave assurances PTI would be crushed. Over 3000 PTI workers were arrested, abducted, and terrorised. Ali Amin & now Ali Zaidi abducted,” he said in a tweet.

“A new plan underway for more illegal police plus action in Zaman Park after 27 Ramazan or over Eid. They think this will weaken us in case elections are held. Let me state categorically this will not work. People’s anger only increasing & they will see the blowback of this nefarious London Plan in elections.” he added.
