Pakistan court bars police operation to arrest Imran until Friday
A Pakistan high court on Thursday barred police operation for another day to arrest former Premier Imran Khan, his aide said.
The court had on Wednesday intervened to tamp down clashes between Khan's supporters and police after both sides suffered scores of injuries in pitched battles outside his Lahore house.
Imran Khan's aide Fawad Chaudhry said the court has extended the bar on police operation until Friday.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has claimed that the 'real intent' of the Islamabad police is not to arrest him but 'to abduct and assassinate' him. Protests have spread across major cities in Pakistan, including Islamabad, Peshawar, Karachi, and Rawalpindi, after Khan urged his supporters to continue the fight against the government.
