Speaking to the media in Lahore, PTI MNA Sardar Latif Khosa hit back at accusations that he obstructed roads in Lahore yesterday while protesting, which led to his arrest.

Khosa and PTI lawyer Salman Akram Raja were arrested yesterday while attending a protest in Lahore, one of several held throughout the country called by PTI founder Imran Khan. Media reports said they were released that same night.

“It was Sunday; if I blocked the road then show me where I blocked the road. There’s cameras everywhere, show me the evidence,” he said. “No one obstructed the traffic.”

He added that Raja had been arrested on the same charges.
