Meanwhile, Imran Khan will continue scheduled rallies in different cities, the sources relayed.

Former prime minister Khan said public support was their biggest strength. They were fighting the government’s tactics in the field, he said. “13 parties are running from election fearing a single party. My movement’s purpose is to defeat mafias of the country. Our common citizen has joined the ‘real freedom movement’,” he said.

On September 8, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had decided to indict Imran Khan in contempt of court case on September 22. The IHC had termed the reply of the PTI chief unsatisfactory. Imran had left the IHC after talking to the media.

A contempt of court case had been lodged against Imran for his controversial remarks about a female judge during the party’s rally in Islamabad on August 20.

After the hearing of the arguments, the court had reserved the verdict and after a five-minute break, the bench headed by Chief Justice Athar Minallah comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangir, and Justice Babar Sattar had given the verdict.
