Imran Khan is concerned about a second “operation” in Zaman Park over the Eid holidays.

“We need to fight from all angles. Every day coming to take bail is not the answer, Safdar remarked. The PTI head does not need to be arrested, he said, given the cases that have already been registered.

“Eid is approaching, and the court will be closed. Safdar added that the police shouldn’t be permitted to file a case during these days because they might launch another front at Zaman Park.

Is there a history of this kind? Judge Sheikh enquired.

Following this, the PTI leader approached the podium and informed the bench that despite the court’s directive to the police not conduct an operation in Zaman Park, it actually did.

“I am just informing you about the threats beforehand,” Khan said and returned to his seat.

Anwar Mansoor, Khan’s other lawyer, said that such actions are being used to stop the elections.

“A political leader is being threatened with arrest so he does not go to the people,” said the lawyer.

Following this, the Punjab government’s lawyer told the court that seeking the court’s permission for investigating someone is not legal.

“Courts have been rejecting such petitions,” the Punjab government lawyer said.

On this, Justice Sheikh asked the lawyer when there was no need to arrest in old cases and then why does the government want to take action after the registration of new cases.

However, the government’s lawyer maintained that the petition was unmaintainable.

Moving on, Justice Sheikh remarked that the petition was fine apart from the inclusion of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as a respondent.

Khan’s lawyer told the court that the government machinery has never been used like it has been used against his client.

On this, Justice Sheikh informed the counsel that the Punjab government lawyer had referred to the cases of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Hamza Shahbaz, and Maryam Nawaz.

At this point, Khan once again came to the rostrum and told the court that the government violated the orders of the court despite its order.

“I am trying to stop the bloodshed. We have no faith in this system,” Khan said.

The court took a brief break and when Justice Sheikh and Justice Farooq Haider returned they announced that they are sending the case to the chief justice of the LHC for the formation of a full bench on the case.
