"PML-N leaders, workers cannot be intimidated by fascism," said Aurangzeb. She demanded that Tarar and other party workers arrested be released immediately.

"The arrest of Ataullah Tarar is a proof of the Imran government's great confusion," she said.

Ms Aurangzeb claimed that PML-N workers were arrested in Ali Pur Chatha "for putting up a resistance against vote thieves".

The PML-N spokesperson told local media that Tarar had been protesting since evening against the arrest of fellow party workers.

Earlier, police had said that a case has been registered against Ataullah Tarar at the Ali Pur Chatha police station "for protesting".

The arrested party workers have been charged with "attacking police stations, tearing uniforms of police personnel and making threats".
