The Islamabad court has stated that the police will be asked not to arrest Imran Khan, the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), if he surrenders himself before the authorities. The PTI had requested the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to suspend Khan’s non-bailable arrest warrants in the Toshakhana case, but the high court directed the deposed prime minister’s counsel to move the trial court, as the order for his arrest was “in line with the law”. The situation at Khan’s residence in Zaman Park is calm after the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) orders of stopping the police operation till 10 am today. However, the court has clarified that it has not stopped police from executing the arrest warrants and asked PTI to resolve the ongoing issue. Scores of people, including police personnel and PTI workers, were injured as the law enforcers fired teargas and party supporters resorted to throwing Molotov cocktails. The judge has asked Khan to appear before the court and noted that in line with the law, Khan should assist the police and not resist it. The PTI’s lawyers have requested to suspend the arrest warrants, saying that Khan wants to give an undertaking to the court that he will appear in the session court on March 18. The judge has issued a notice to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and adjourned the hearing till 12 pm.
