Imran Khan’s PTI Faces Crackdown: Arrest Warrants for 50 Leaders
Islamabad’s anti-terrorism court has issued arrest warrants for fifty prominent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders. The warrants target high-profile figures, including former President Arif Alvi and Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan.
This action follows the PTI leaders’ absence from court hearings related to the November 26, 2024, protests in Pakistan. The non-appearance of these key figures has prompted the court’s decisive move.
A Rawalpindi court had previously issued similar warrants for other senior PTI members, including Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi. The escalating legal pressure on the party is intensifying political tensions within Pakistan.
This development underscores the deepening political crisis in Pakistan, with the PTI facing significant legal challenges. The arrests, if executed, could significantly impact the party’s political standing and future strategies. The ongoing legal battles threaten to further destabilize the already fragile political landscape.
