Rana Sanaullah has said that Imran Khan has been charged in over two dozens of cases including rioting, sedition, chaos and armed attacks at the federation, The News International reported.
The Minister said that the security officials deployed outside the Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence would arrest him on the expiry of his protective bail granted by the court.
“How one can become a head of political party in a democratic society who instigates people and have complete disregard of moral and democratic values, terming his opponents traitors?” he questioned, as per the publication.
The Interior Minister said that they welcome Imran Khan to Islamabad and that security is being provided to him as per the law.
Late Saturday night, the Islamabad police had said that in view of Imran Khan’s expected return to Islamabad from Peshawar, security around Bani Gala has been beefed up.
The Pakistani government is also mulling whether to file treason charges against the former prime minister over his party’s ‘Azadi March’. Multiple scuffles had taken place between the police and PTI last month as Khan led hundreds of protesters on a march to the national capital.
Former Foreign Minister and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi meanwhile has warned that any attempt to arrest Khan would be a ‘mistake’ that would prompt retaliation from party workers. “The entire nation listened to Rana Sanaullah’s threats and his rhetoric. Rana Sanaullah plans to arrest Imran Khan. If he thinks we will remain silent on Imran’s arrest, he is a big fool,” he had said recently.
