ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that his party as well as the entire nation was standing with the chief justice of Pakistan. Addressing a large rally taken out to express solidarity with the Supreme Court of Pakistan, he condemned police torture on the PTI rally in Karachi. “The PTI will start a tsunami march if the Supreme Court’s decision is not accepted,” he warned. Earlier in Karachi, police baton charged PTI workers as they took out a pro-judiciary rally and gathered at Fawara Chowk near the Governor’s House on Monday.
Clashes erupted between PTI workers and the police, as the latter used water canon to disperse the rally participants. PTI Central Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi and other office bearers of the party were arrested. The PTI had announced on Sunday to take out a rally to express solidarity with the Supreme Court in the back drop of the Arsalan-Malik Riaz case. Many in Pakistan see the case as a conspiracy against the apex court. |
