If arrested again, same reaction will come: Imran Khan

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Friday said that if he is arrested again, the same reaction will come and he does not want such a situation to arise again.

On the occasion of his appearance in Islamabad High Court (IHC) for National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Al-Qadir Trust Case, Imran Khan avoided answering the questions of the media representatives.

When Imran Khan came out after taking biometrics in the diary branch of IHC, he made a victory sign looking into the cameras.

One of the journalists asked Imran Khan if he had meetings with the establishment during his imprisonment. At this, Imran Khan shook his head in the negative.

The reporter asked whether you are adamant or have a deal? Chairman PTI smiled at this.

The former cricketer further said that some people are afraid that he will remove them if he come to power, however he would not de-notified anyone if I came to power.

On this occasion, a journalist told Khan that he had come in a wheelchair earlier and he seems to be recovering, but the former prime minister did not respond to this.

Later, in an informal conversation with journalists, Imran Khan said: “NAB gave me permission to talk to my wife”.

A journalist asked that you got the phone during the arrest? Responding to this, he said that he spoke through their official landline.

The journalist asked that the phone was given to you to talk to your wife, did you contact Musarrat Jamshed Cheema? The former premier replied that he could not talk to Bushra Bibi.

He said: “I am 100 percent sure that I will be arrested, I will not resist if the bail is cancelled”.

When I was arrested, people expressed their anger. If arrested again, same reaction will come, alarmed chairman PTI.

Chairman PTI further said that an attempt was made to kill me in the judicial complex, my house was attacked in Lahore, while I have been granted bail in all my cases. If there is an arrest warrant, show it, and I will surrender.

Speaking about his arrest in Al-Qadir Trust case, Imran Khan said that NAB treated me well during detention.

In response to a question, he stated that this is my country, my army. I will not go out of the country under any circumstances, I want rule of law and constitution in this country. The people who lost their lives are our people.

Apart from this, Imran Khan contacted his legal team in view of the fear of arrest and told Hamid Khan that Punjab Police is standing outside to arrest him.
