Imran evades arrest, addresses crowd as police wait outside

PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Sunday dodged arrest as Islamabad Police showed up at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore with court summons to take him into custody for his persistent absences from Toshakhana court hearings. According to Dawn report, when police reached at  Imran’s residence, they found a horde of PTI supporters along with party leaders, and were informed that the PTI chief was “unavailable”. Imran Khan ended the hours-long mystery by addressing a televised party event right from his residence. Imran demanded a public trial of the Toshakhana case. Imran claimed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and "Dirty Harry" were still in power and that another plan to assassinate him had been hatched.

"Your and your children's future is very bleak," he said taking note of the state of the country's economy as well as the condition of rule of law. Imran said no matter if the government places his name on the exit control list (ECL) as he has no intention of leaving the country.
