Punjab province police chief Usman Anwar said he had sent police only to comply with the court order. "We used restraint as much as we could," he said. He added criminal cases had been registered against those committing acts of violence.
The police were unarmed, he said, adding they had to use water cannons and teargas shells when Imran Khan's supporters turned violent.
Provincial information minister Amir Mir said there were militants among Imran Khan's supporters outside his house. "We have received credible reports that militants were amongst the people who attacked police," he told a news conference. "One of them has served eight years in prison."
Meanwhile, Khan's aide Shafqat Mehmood dismissed that as a "fabricated story, based on lies".
Imran Khan questioned why Rangers were deployed outside his residence. "This was a political crowd, not terrorists. First they tried to kill the leader of the largest and only federal party in the country and now this action has come," he said.
"I will not avoid any sacrifice for Pakistan's development, interests and democracy. In this regard, I am ready to talk to anyone and I am ready to take every step in this direction," Khan said.
Imran Khan said that the ruling government's intent is to put him in jail and then conduct elections, so that they face no opposition. While admitting that tickets to those contesting from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf in 2018 elections were allotted in an unfair manner, Khan said, "Our plan is that I will personally allot the tickets."

Pakistan stands at a decisive point, Imran Khan said, adding that it can move towards the country that people have dreamed of or towards destruction. "The country knows me for 50 years and there is not one instance where I have broken the law. And the police and Rangers reach to arrest the leader of Pakistan's biggest political party. What was my crime? And what did they do with the people?" he said.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's plea to suspend arrest warrants against him was dismissed by a lower trial court in Islamabad, local media reported.

When Pakistan gained independence in 1947, Karachi, a port city at the confluence of business activity and intellectual tradition, became the de facto capital of the Islamic nation.
Karachi, a bustling port city, was vulnerable to attacks from the sea, and amidst the turmoil that surrounded the Indian subcontinent, the possibility of war loomed large. The former capital was also far away from the General Headquarters, where the Pakistan Army sat.

Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh of the Lahore High Court (LHC) presided over the hearing and said the current situation in the provincial capital “tarnished the image of Pakistan across the world."

An Islamabad court heard the case pertaining to Imran Khan's arrest in the Toshakhana case. Additional District and Sessions (ADSJ) Judge Zafar Iqbal presided over the proceedings while Khawaja Haris Ahmed and Babar Awan appeared for Khan.
Judge Iqbal asked why Imran has not appeared before the court till now, reported Dawn. "This matter can be resolved in a second … where is Imran Khan?"

Ex-PM Imran Khan took to Twitter to share videos from protests by supporters yesterday, saying that they show a yearning for freedom among the people.
An Islamabad court judge said today that he will halt police's attempts to arrest Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case if the ex-PM surrenders in the court.
Additional District and Sessions (ADSJ) Judge Zafar Iqbal made the remarks while hearing the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) reference. The ECP is seeking criminal proceedings against Imran for concealing details of Toshakhana gifts, as per a report in Dawn.
The Toshakhana controversy came to the forefront when in August 2022, the coalition government — led by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) — filed a case against Imran, claiming that he didn’t disclose information on gifts presented to Toshakhana and the proceeds from the “illegal” sale of some the gifts.
Established in 1974, Toshakhana is a department under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division which stores gifts and other expensive items received by public officials. According to its rules, it’s compulsory for officials to report the gifts and other such materials received by them to the Cabinet Division.
However, when Imran came to power in 2018, he resisted disclosing details of the many presents he received during his time in office, saying that doing so would severely impact relations with other countries.
Subsequently, the former prime minister wrote a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and admitted to selling at least four such presents but also said that he bought them from the government by paying a percentage of their value. These included a Graff watch gifted to him by the Saudi Arabian crown prince, Rolex watches, expensive cufflinks, a valuable pen and a ring. (Read more)
