The Punjab Police detained Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday morning. He is the vice president of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a former minister of communication.
According to a tweet from PTI leader Farrukh Habib, police have detained Fawad Chaudhry at his house in Lahore. He asserted that the new administration in a hurry started gathering up PTI leaders.
Prior to it, tens of thousands of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters gathered in front of PTI leader Imran Khan’s residence in Zaman Park, Lahore, early on Wednesday to protect him from a probable arrest by the Punjab police.
Many PTI personnel, including women, kids, and senior party officials, came to Zaman Park in response to the request issued via the party’s official Twitter account.
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry asserted that thousands of workers had only come here with a 30-minute notice while speaking to the media in front of Imran Khan’s house. The most popular politician in the country, Imran Khan, is being detained, he asserted, therefore that would constitute an attack on Pakistan.
Fawad Chaudhry stated that the arrest of Imran Khan would cause riots across the country of Pakistan. Imran Khan is our red line, according to Chaudhry. He said the people of Pakistan would back their beloved leader and put all the cities under lockdown.
The PTI lawmaker was taken into custody by Islamabad police in Lahore’s Defence A police neighbourhood, and he will probably appear before a magistrate in the Cantt courts.
Fawad’s temporary incarceration would likely be requested by the Islamabad police department from the local court.
