There is a lot of political violence in the Lahore High Court at the moment. The courts are hearing the detention orders and it is from morning to evening. Serious cases are being registered. Police are registering cases without warrant. The Islamabad High Court is angry with the police for registering such cases. In whatever case they want, they accuse Imran Khan of assisting.

Continuing the arguments, the lawyer told the court that there was no incident inside the house. Why was the person who injured the DIG not arrested? . Why was no one arrested for attacking the police? . Such a large front was erected to serve a small warrant. This grand operation has been done, was he the former prime minister or was he a terrorist? . This was wrong done by the police and should not have happened. When the petitioner leaves his home, he is attacked. They filed an FIR on me sitting at home and attacked me.
The lawyer further said that Imran Khan conducted condolence programs on the death of Zal Shah. After the death of Zal Shah, Imran Khan was very depressed. Petitioner Imran Khan should be granted interim bail. A case was registered against Imran Khan on the basis of malice.
