Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has blamed the country’s army chief for his abduction on May 9 and distanced himself from the unrest that erupted in numerous towns following his incarceration.
Imran Khan Blames Pakistan’s Army Chief
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 12 granted bail to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) head in a fraud case. The court prevented officials from arresting Imran Khan until May 15.
It is mentioned Imran Khan stepped up his assault against Pakistan’s powerful military only moments after being granted bail.
Reportedly, Imran Khan is the first politician to seek redress from the Supreme Court. ”I am sitting in the Islamabad High Court. They had no justification to arrest me. I was abducted. They showed me a warrant for the first time after taking me to jail. This happens only where there is a law of the jungle and where the Army abducts [people],” he said.
”Where is the law? Where are the police? It seems that martial law has been declared [in the country],” Imran Khan added.
