PTI Chairman Imran Khan has claimed that a list of 23,000 party workers has been drawn up, adding that over 10,000 were in prison.

“They are political workers and many are being subjected to violence. Keep those guilty in prison but release the rest because most of them were not there [in the May 9 riots].

“It is my request that they (the government) are finishing politics and this is a plan to wind up democracy.”
