ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday said it was evident the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government intended to arrest him, Bol News reported.
In a tweet, Imran Khan said despite knowing their mala fide intentions, he was proceeding to the Islamabad court because he believed in the rule of law. He said they wanted to imprison him so that he could not lead the election campaign.
“It is now clear that, despite my having gotten bail in all my cases, the PDM govt intends to arrest me. Despite knowing their malafide intentions, I am proceeding to Islamabad & the court bec I believe in rule of law. But ill intent of this cabal of crooks shd be clear to all.
“It is also obvious now that the entire siege of Lahore was not about ensuring I appear before the court in a case but was intended to take me away to prison so that I am unable to lead our election campaign,” he said.

Meanwhile, Islamabad Inspector General of Police Nasir Akbar on Saturday said police had taken measures to stop any untoward accident during hearing of the Toshakhana case at the judicial complex, Bol News reported.
Addressing media on Sri Nagar Highway, Nasir Akbar said extraordinary measures were taken to ensure security of citizens as a terrorist incident took place two months ago in the federal capital city. Some other forces could misuse such occasions, he said expressing concern. In such a situation, there was a risk of attack from a terrorist group, he maintained.
He said security arrangements were made according to order of the court and police were directed to take special care of media’s security.
The Islamabad IG said Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was given extremely well security on his last appearance at the Islamabad High Court (IHC). He also clarified that their purpose was not to stop PTI workers, but to maintain a balance in the court proceeding.
