Imran Khan fears another ‘operation’ at Zaman Park during Eid holidays. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan informed the Lahore High Court<\/a> (LHC) on Monday that he fears the government may launch a fresh \u201coperation\u201d during the Eid ul Fitr holidays at his Zaman Park residence in a bid to arrest him.<\/p>\n

The PTI chief informed the court about his concerns during a hearing on his petition seeking details of cases registered against him across the country.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Khan\u2019s counsel Barrister Salman Safdar told the court that state machinery was being used against his client. He urged the court to stop the registration of cases against the PTI chief.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything has a limit in all cases the police are the complainant,\u201d said Safdar, citin the Wazirabad incident and Zile Shah case where the police were the complainant.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your stance has been recorded then it shouldn\u2019t remain an issue,\u201d Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh remarked.<\/p>\n

However, Safdar told the bench that in all cases terrorism charges were included, adding that the court cannot remain silent over the misuse of authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to fight on all fronts. Coming to take bail every day is not the solution,\u201d said Safdar. He added that in the cases registered, so far, there is no need to arrest the PTI chief.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, Eid is coming and the court will not be working. During these days the police may open another front at Zaman Park,\u201d Safdar said, adding that the police should not be allowed to register a case within these days.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there any such precedence?\u201d Justice Sheikh asked.<\/p>\n

Upon this, the PTI chief came to the rostrum and told the bench that the court had ordered the police not to launch an operation in Zaman Park yet it happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow during holidays, they will launch an operation. I have credible reports that they will launch an operation. The court must stop them,\u201d Khan urged, adding that the \u201claw of the jungle\u201d prevails here first people are arrested then they are informed about the accusations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just informing you about the threats beforehand,\u201d Khan said and returned to his seat.<\/p>\n

Anwar Mansoor, Khan\u2019s other lawyer, said that such actions are being used to stop the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cA political leader is being threatened with arrest so he does not go to the people,\u201d said the lawyer.<\/p>\n

Following this, the Punjab government\u2019s lawyer told the court that seeking the court\u2019s permission for investigating someone is not legal.<\/p>\n

\u201cCourts have been rejecting such petitions,\u201d the Punjab government lawyer said.<\/p>\n

On this, Justice Sheikh asked the lawyer when there was no need to arrest in old cases and then why does the government want to take action after the registration of new cases.<\/p>\n

However, the government\u2019s lawyer maintained that the petition was unmaintainable.<\/p>\n

Moving on, Justice Sheikh remarked that the petition was fine apart from the inclusion of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as a respondent.<\/p>\n

Khan\u2019s lawyer told the court that the government machinery has never been used like it has been used against his client.<\/p>\n

On this, Justice Sheikh informed the counsel that the Punjab government lawyer had referred to the cases of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Hamza Shahbaz, and Maryam Nawaz.<\/p>\n

At this point, Khan once again came to the rostrum and told the court that the government violated the orders of the court despite its order.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am trying to stop the bloodshed. We have no faith in this system,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n

The court took a brief break and when Justice Sheikh and Justice Farooq Haider returned they announced that they are sending the case to the chief justice of the LHC for the formation of a full bench on the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
