LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has alleged that the PTI was being targeted and its workers and members arrested in a bid to prevent them from forming the next government.
In a tweet past midnight Wednesday, the PTI chief said democracy, judiciary, Constitution and the rule of law has been made a “complete mockery by the current fascist set up”. “Our democracy, our judiciary, our constitution and the rule of law has been made a complete mockery by the current fascist set up . Like our other leaders, Shireen Mazari after getting bail was rearrested and taken to another jail. 7500 of our workers have been arrested with most of them not produced before the courts as demanded by our law,” he tweeted.
Khan further said that his party’s men and women were being picked up. “As we speak, houses are being broken in, smashed and men and women are being picked up. Just when we believe our country has hit rock bottom in both our economic crisis and violation of our fundamental rights, we hit another low. And all this is being done to stop the PTI [from] forming the next government.”
