According to the media reports, a local court in Quetta issued the non-bail able arrest warrant on Thursday and directed authorities to present the former Prime Minister Imran Khan in court.

The complaint was registered by Abdul Khalil Kakar at the Bijli Road Police Station against Imran Khan. The FIR included Sections 153A, 124A, and 505 of the PPC and Section 20 of the PECA. He had alleged that Khan’s statement was an attempt to destroy public peace and order.
It is to be noted here that the former Prime Minister had come down hard on the “state institutions” in a speech on Sunday after a team of Islamabad police had arrived at his Zaman Park residence to arrest him in the Toshakhana case. He vented his rage while addressing party workers and supporters at Zaman Park residence in Lahore who participated in the “Jail Bharo Tehreek”.
During his speech, Imran Khan said that he had neither kneeled before any institution or person nor would let the nation do so. He said it does not matter if the government places his name on the exit control list (ECL) as he has no intention of leaving the country.
