Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Islamabad: Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has now attacked the army. Imran’s morale has increased after getting relief from the court in many cases. Let us tell you that he has refused to apologize for the riots that broke out after his arrest on May 9 last year and has said that the army should apologize to him, because he was “abducted” by the Pak Rangers on the day of violence. Khan (71) was arrested by Pak Rangers from the Islamabad High Court complex on May 9, 2023 while appearing in a corruption case.
Imran’s arrest had triggered nationwide protests and riots by supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). This had caused damage to civilian and military installations across the country. Army spokesman Major General Ahmed Sharif had said on May 7 this year that any talks could take place with the PTI (Imran’s party), provided the party apologized for its “politics of anarchy”. Following this statement, there were demands from various sectors that Khan’s party should apologize for the “Black Day” violence.
Statement given in Adiyala Jail
According to the report of Dawn newspaper, while talking to the media in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Saturday, Khan, in response to a question, said that there is no reason to apologize for the violence of May 9. He said that he was arrested by the Rangers led by a Major General from the Islamabad High Court complex. Khan said that on the contrary, the army should apologize to him because he was “abducted” by the Pak Rangers on the day of violence. (Language)
