LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has formed a committee to lead the party if Imran Khan is arrested, the former prime minister told Reuters hours before an appearance before a court that had issued arrest warrants for him.
The former premier and cricket legend has led country-wide protests after his ouster from power last year and has had a spate of cases registered against him.
“I have made a committee which will obviously take decisions once — if — I’m inside” jail, the 70-year-old said in an interview in his Lahore home before heading to Islamabad early on Saturday.
The police attempt to arrest Khan recently led to clashes in which dozens of policemen were injured. However, hours after Khan made his way to attend the Toshakhana case hearing in the capital today, Punjab Police made their way into his Zaman Park residence and arrested several party workers.
He told Reuters there were 94 cases against him.
