Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf workers stage a protest demonstration outside Karachi press club for the release of Imran Khan, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel.
Karachi police have arrested PTI Sindh chapter president Halim Adil Sheikh and other PTI workers and shifted them to Police station for further interrogation.
According to PTI MPA Muhammad Awais, all the arrested persons were shifted to Predi police station. He claimed that PTI workers have also gathered outside Predi police station and protesting against the arrest.
Reports about Imran’s ill health had swirled on social and foreign media a day ago, prompting both government and PTI leaders to dismiss the rumours and state that the former prime minister — currently held incarcerated at Rawalpindi’s Adial jail — was doing well.
Several PTI workers, including women, carried banners bearing slogans in favour of the former premier as they moved towards KPC today. The party workers and leaders chanted slogans and delivered speeches.
Authorities had sealed all routes leading to the Press Club by placing barricades and parking vehicles.
South Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mahzoor Ali claimed that all protesters were released. He said police took action as the crowd was charged and the force feared they might indulge in vandalism and create a law and order situation.
