imran khan got bail in al qadir trust case imran khan got bail from islamabad high court setback to pakistan army

Islamabad: In the midst of a civil war-like situation in Pakistan, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been granted bail by the Islamabad High Court in the Alqadir case for two weeks. Imran Khan has already got bail in the Toshakhana case. Earlier, Imran openly warned Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir. Imran Khan said that Pakistan’s army chief is afraid of him. General Munir is responsible for the violence across the country. He said that this is not an arrest but a kidnapping. Imran Khan warned on Friday that if he is arrested again, there will be devastation across the country. After this decision of the court, PM Shahbaz Sharif is now holding a cabinet meeting and will discuss the latest situation in the country. The PTI leader’s enthusiasm seems to have increased manifold after the massive violence by Imran Khan supporters across Pakistan. Imran said that I am 100 percent sure that he will be arrested. He said that the Punjab police is standing outside to arrest me. Imran Khan said that his arrest is kidnapping. This is the law of the jungle. Meanwhile, a team of Lahore police has left for capital Islamabad to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan in connection with several cases registered in Punjab province.

According to the news published in the newspaper Dawn, the Deputy Inspector General (Investigation) is leading the team of Lahore Police. According to the news, the joint team probing the cases registered against Imran Khan has informed the Islamabad High Court that it wants to arrest the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) chairman Khan. Khan, who was ousted from power in April last year, has 121 cases registered across the country including sedition, blasphemy, inciting violence and terrorism.

12 cases of terrorism against Imran Khan are registered in Lahore alone while 14 other cases are registered in Faisalabad. Meanwhile, 70-year-old Khan was produced before a special bench of the Islamabad High Court for hearing on his bail application in a corruption case amid tight security. The special bench of the high court comprises Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz.

Earlier, Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in a message asked its supporters to reach the G-13 area, not far from the High Court complex, for Khan’s speech at 10 am. It said that the party leaders can make speeches before appearing in the court as they are not sure of getting relief from the high court. The Islamabad police issued a statement late on Thursday saying that Section 144 was still in force in the capital and requested political activists not to “obstruct the legal process”. He tweeted, ‘We request those who called for demonstrations in Islamabad tomorrow not to disturb the peace.’
