ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday said that he would follow the orders of the court and go to jail.
“According to the decision of the anti-terrorism court, I am a dangerous man. It also declared me a proclaimed offender today, which is why I should go to jail as per the decision of the court,” Khan said while addressing participants of the sit-in at D-Chowk.
The PTI chief said it was difficult to understand the court’s decision to declare PTI leaders proclaimed offenders, including KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Asad Umar.
“Before leaving D-Chowk, I had announced that PTI workers would not damage public property at any cost, and my speech is on record,” he said.
He said Adeel, a PTI supporter and a resident of D.G. Khan, was in Adiala Jail for the last over 27 days allegedly for attacking PTV.
“Due to weak judicial system, no one is ready to issue arrest warrant for the ‘corrupt’ rulers,” he added.
“I feel proud that Zubair Qureshi, a PTI leader, challenged the appointment of Maryam Nawaz as head of the Prime Minister Youth Loan Programme in court,” the PTI chief added.
The PTI chief warned the PML-N government to fulfill his party’s demands by November 30.
