Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), criticised the arrest of party officials despite having been granted bail and vowed to fight the injustice until his last breath. The former prime minister said in a tweet that PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi had been detained again following his release on bail, just like PTI members and supporters. He claimed that the only thing preventing us from living under the “law of the jungle,” where “might makes right,” is our judicial system. PTI’s leader stated that the constitution is being flagrantly violated alongside Supreme Court decisions.
According to him, police are being utilised to dismantle PTI and force party leaders to resign. He said that fundamental rights are being flagrantly violated, that the media has been completely restrained, and that social media activists are under threat. Despite the court’s instructions, he claimed, journalist Imran Riaz is not being produced in court. He claimed that while some PTI employees have endured abuse in detention, others are crammed into tiny cells in the scorching heat. He declared, “I will fight until my last breath because yielding to this Yazeediat means the death of our country.” Shortly after being freed from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi was once again taken into custody.
Qureshi stressed that he was still and would continue to be a member of the PTI when speaking outside the jail before being rearrested.Police then led the former foreign minister to an unidentified location. Qureshi was granted freedom by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) upon the submission of an undertaking by him promising not to incite unrest among the workforce. After violent protests by PTI workers followed the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan on May 9, Qureshi was one of the senior PTI officials taken into custody from Islamabad.
