PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi says Imran Khan, when he was prime minister, arrested many of the members of his party “without any charge or investigation” by the very same anti-graft body that now has him in custody.

Speaking with CNN’s Christina Macfarlane, he said he had been through hundreds of such investigations and a trial for Imran would still be at a later stage. “He had many opportunities to do away with this particular law — which he did not.”
