ISLAMABAD: PTI chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday appeared before the Islamabad Police’s joint investigation team (JIT) for questioning in connection with the terrorism case registered against him.
Imran arrived at the office of the senior superintendent of police (SSP) on the directives of an anti-terrorism court (ATC) after refusing to to appear before the JIT thrice.
He was accompanied by PTI leaders Fawad Chaudhry and Shibli Faraz. In his visit to the SSP office today — which lasted for 20 minutes — Imran was given a questionnaire by the JIT.
Speaking to the media before the questioning, Imran said that a “sea of people would be coming out” against the government and the PTI was preparing for it.
“I was silent before because of the economic conditions, the floods came […] so we decided to protest peacefully,” the PTI chief stated, warning that if he gave the call “the government won’t able to bear it”.
“You will not be able to bear the day I give a call, because people are already cursing you […] you go out and public curses you […] PPP in Sindh is hiding.
Talking about the terror case against him, Imran said that “it is a joke”
The PTI chief was booked for terrorism under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act for making controversial remarks against Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and officials of the Islamabad Police during a rally in Islamabad on Aug 20.
Earlier this week, the ATC had extended the ex-premier’s bail till September 20 and instructed him to become a part of the investigation.
