ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has ordered the IG Islamabad to arrest the Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf and produce him before it tomorrow (Tuesday).
The ECP directed the IG Islamabad to comply with the non-bailable warrant, adding that the PTI Chairman did not appear in the contempt election case.
The electoral watchdog said that warrants were issued for non-appearance.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan restrained the arrest of PTI chairman in Quetta’s lawyer killing case till August 9.
PTI chairman along with his lawyer Latif Khosa appeared before the Supreme Court following the court’s order to surrender in response to a relief in murder case.
PTI chief surrendered before the SC three-member bench headed by Justice Yahya Khan Afridi.
Balochistan government lawyer present in the court stated that PTI chief is wanted for investigation and urged to order a probe involving former premier.
“The formation of JIT is itself challenged, so how can we ask for an inclusive investigation? “asked Justice Yahya Afridi.
Following this remark, the court rejected the request of the Balochistan government to order an investigation involving PTI chairman.
The SC adjourned the hearing till August 7, however upon the request of PTI counsel Latif Khosa; the court adjourned the hearing till August 9.
