Marriyum lambasts former PM Khan for not appearing in court

ISLAMABAD, Mar 7 (SABAH): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Tuesday criticizing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said that a person who had hidden when police arrived to arrest him was now fine to hold election rallies.

”This was not a movement to save the judiciary but a movement to be saved from judiciary”, she said in a tweet targeting Imran Khan.

Lashing out at the PTI chairman, she said “the foreign agent and Toshakhana thief” did not appear even when his non-bailable arrest warrants were issued.

The minister said that the accused and his legal team were missing and the court was again waiting.

It is noteworthy here that police arrived had on March 5 at the home of the 70-year-old critic of the current government but said they were thwarted in efforts to seize Khan on the spot after finding his residence surrounded by supporters.

Islamabad Police later said that following a room-by-room search of the site, Khan could not be found and that they were told by leaders of Khan’s Tehrik-e Insaf party (PTI) that Imran Khan was not present at the residence.
