The accusation was brought after clashes between law enforcement officials and Imran Khan’s supporters took place the previous day in Islamabad.
In Pakistan, police have filed charges of terrorism and other law violations against the country’s former prime minister and leader of the opposition Justice Movement (JM) party Imran Khan, his 17 aides and twelve dozen supporters. The Associated Press reported this on Sunday, March 19.
The accusations were made after clashes broke out in Islamabad the previous day between law enforcement officials and DZS supporters who accompanied Khan’s motorcade. He was on his way to the Islamabad District Court to attend a hearing on the sale of expensive gifts he received during his tenure from foreign leaders. More than 50 policemen were injured and 59 supporters of Khan were arrested.
The list of charges includes terrorism, obstructing the police in their work, assaulting law enforcement officers, assaulting the police and endangering their lives. In addition to Khan, several former ministers and the former speaker of the National Assembly (lower house of parliament) of Pakistan have been accused of these offences.
As you know, on April 10, 2022, Imran Khan was removed from the position of the head of the government of Pakistan after a vote of no confidence was passed on him. He was accused of selling gifts he received from foreign leaders while in power. In October last year, the Electoral Commission of Pakistan disqualified Khan from the election and disqualified him from holding government positions for five years for misreporting income as prime minister. The decision was made amid suspicions that Khan embezzled at least 36 million Pakistani rupees (about $140,000 – ed.) from the sale of gifts.
