Khan said that they are playing a T20 match but not a Test. “Arrests and raids are telling us that the rulers are facing extreme pressure. PTI leaders will no more be needed to run any election campaign as it will be run by the government itself. I will never step back from this independence struggle.”

The former premier said that the government lodged a bogus and false case of Al-Qadir University against him and Shahzad Akbar will soon apprise the party leaders regarding its details.

The PTI central leaders expressed solidarity with the Supreme Court (SC) and condemned the use of the students of seminaries for invading the apex court.
