Imran Khan addresses his party workers who participated in the party’s “Jail Bharo Tehreek” at his Lahore residence, despite his chief of staff Senator Shibli Faraz claiming that the former prime minister was not at Zaman Park!

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers gathered at Zaman Park on Sunday afternoon after the Islamabad police arrived at former prime minister Imran Khan’s Lahore residence to make his arrest for the Toshakhana case.

When the Islamabad police arrived at Zaman Park, Imran Khan’s Chief of Staff Senator Shibli Faraz received the warrant for the PTI chairman’s arrest.

Shibli Faraz informed the police that the former PM was not at Zaman Park but would comply with the law.

Islamabad Police personnel arrived at Zaman Park under the leadership of a superintendent of police (SP).

“We are being assisted by the Lahore police,” said the Islamabad police official while speaking to the media.

IG Islamabad while talking to a news channel said that the officers are at Zaman Park to arrest the PTI leader.

“I appeal to the people not to hinder the police in implementing the orders from the court. Doing so would be a crime,” warned the Islamabad police chief.

Later, PTI leaders Fawad Churdry and other seniorparty leaders including Yasmin Rashid, Asad Umar, Ejaz Chaudhry and Shah Mahmood Qureshi arrived at Imran Khan’s residence in Lahore.
