Court should have taken suo motu notice of violence during protests, says Khawaja Asif

“In his video message published prior to his arrest […] did Imran not incite and preach violence in it?

“And what was the result of that violence?

“The court should have taken notice [of the attack] on the grave of martyrs. Those graves were defaced and the army’s installations were attacked. The corps commander’s residence in Lahore was attacked.

“But no suo motu was taken and the judiciary did not raise concerns.

“However, an individual was respectfully transferred to a rest house.”
