Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has warned that the relief PTI Chairman Imran Khan has gotten from the court “will not last for long”, saying that the former prime minister could be arrested after midnight — once his protective bail expired.

In an interview with journalist Asma Shirazi on Aaj News, he called the PTI chief a “bluff master”.

Sanaullah also said that Imran shouldn’t be afraid of jail, recalling the “political victimisation” his party suffered at the hands of the PTI government.

He also claimed that the PTI chief had “managed and trained” the mobs that attacked state and military installations on May 9. The minister added that the government had video evidence of the miscreants involved in the vandalism, alleging that “most of them are members of the Tiger Force”.
