As the possibility of Imran's detention grows, PTI supporters swarm to Bani Gala.

             After Imran Khan was charged with terrorism, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members and supporters began to swarm to his hometown of Bani Gala, where he currently resides. To protest the potential arrest of the former premier, PTI leaders have urged party members and sympathizers to take to the streets. Former followers of the ruling party hoisted PTI flags and chanted Imran's name.

 

At Imran's mansion in Bani Gala, several PTI leaders were also in attendance. After arriving in Bani Gala on Monday, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and his son Moonis Elahi met with Imran at his home.

 

Senator Faisal Javed urged PTI supporters to visit Bani Gala while speaking to the media outside the venue. He added that families with young children and senior citizens have already been there since Sunday night. To raise the spirits of the PTI supporters now present in Imran's hometown, he asked for additional people to join. Senator Javed believed that "together we may achieve Haqeeqi Azadi" (genuine freedom).

 

The senator asserted that the struggle for genuine independence has reached a turning point and reminded PTI supporters that Imran Khan had sworn never to bow down to anyone but the Almighty. Faisal urged PTI supporters to march to Bani Gala once more, saying, "Just as Imran Khan has never disappointed the nation, the nation has also never disappointed Imran Khan."

 

Additionally, Senator Faisal claimed that the current coalition government's actions demonstrated that the "imported government was terrified." Leading a convoy from Faisalabad to Bani Gala was Farrukh Habib of the PTI. The PTI chairman Imran was arrested in a terrorist case after reportedly threatening Zeba Chaudhry, an additional session’s judge in the federal capital, according to Islamabad Saddar Magistrate Ali Javed's complaint.

 

Following Imran Khan's speech at the PTI rally in F9 Park on Saturday at 10 p.m., a first information report (FIR) was filed with the Margalla police station. The Anti-Terrorism Act's Section 7 is also included in the FIR.

 

Before a resident of G-11/2 filed a charge against Imran for uttering hate statements and encouraging rebellion against the army, police, and judiciary, the FIR was filed at another Islamabad police station. According to the FIR filed by the Margalla police, the PTI leader threatened the additional sessions judge of Islamabad to terrorize senior police and judicial officials so that they would be unable to perform their duties and would hold off on taking action against the PTI out of fear of Imran.

 

Fawad Chaudhry, a senior PTI official, requested in a tweet that workers go to Imran's Bani Gala home, noting that there were already hundreds of people there. InshaAllah, thousands of people will be at Bani Gala in a short while, he continued.

 

When speaking to the media, Party Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi advised party members to be ready and wait for the party to call for a protest if Imran was detained.

 

He claimed they were worried about the coalition government's intentions to detain the party leader, declaring that "Imran is our red line and conspirators would suffer consequences."

 

PTI chairman Imran Khan, who was charged with terrorism for threatening a second session’s court judge, has submitted a request for pre-arrest release to the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

 

Lawyers Babar Awan and Faisal Chaudhry claimed Imran had no prior criminal history in their pre-arrest bail application. It added that the former premier was prepared for any probe related to the case and asked the high court to approve the application.
