Protests

Violent clashes broke out across Pakistan after the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan were arrested from the premises of Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 9.

It’s worth mentioning that Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that the government is mulling over a ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. It will be a joint decision,” he said. “If this decision is taken the matter will be brought to the parliament,” the federal minister added.
