The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has approached the Lahore High Court against the arrests of party workers in the province ahead of its November 2 Islamabad lockdown plan. The PTI Lahore president, Walid Iqbal, submitted that the PTI is struggling for rule of law, supremacy of the constitution, corruption-free state and a strong functional democracy in Pakistan.
The petitioner said it has been revealed in Panama leaks that family members and dependants of the prime minister of Pakistan and various other Pakistanis are holding high value assets outside Pakistan through offshore companies in complete mismatch of their declared income and wealth. Walid said the government functionaries have made a plan to arrest the PTI and other party workers in order to subvert the legal and constitutional exercise of protest by their party. He therefore asked the court to restrain the state machinery from arresting or harassing the PTI workers and leaders.
