Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued non-bailable arrest warrant for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman in contempt case on Monday.
According to details, non-bailable warrants were issued in the case regarding the contempt of the Pakistan Election Commission.
The PTI chairman will be taken into custody by the police and presented to the Election Commission of Pakistan tomorrow at 10am, according to the ECP's directive.
Last week, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) summoned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman on July 25 (Tuesday) in a “cipher conspiracy” case.
The former premier had been called to appear at FIA headquarters with all the required documents.
The FIA notification warned that the PTI head would face consequences if he failed to appear before the agency.
The development occurred as a result of a statement made by Azam Khan, the former prime minister's personal secretary, in which he referred to the former premier's use of the US cypher as a "conspiracy" to "manipulate for creating a narrative against the state institutions."
In his statement, the former bureaucrat claimed that when he gave the ex-premier the cypher, he was "happy" and termed the language as a "US blunder". The former prime minister allegedly responded by saying that the cable might be used to "create a narrative against the state institutions," according to Azam.
