Islamabad High Court grants pre-arrest bail to Imran Khan until 25th August, bars authorities from arresting him in the ATA case.

According to a report by The Dawn, Imran Khan on Sunday blamed the ‘neutrals’ — a term he uses for the military establishment — for the ongoing crackdown on the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).

“On May 25, when the police used violence against us, I was told by insiders that the police were ordered from above, which means that neutrals pressurised them to give PTI workers a thrashing,” he said.

PTI vice-chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi told the media that the party is going to protest any attempts to arrest Imran Khan and the police has already deployed forces in anticipation of clashes.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) politicians have urged party workers to take to the streets to protest against the possible arrest of Imran Khan. Senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has also asked party workers to reach former PM's Bani Gala residence.
