Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanuallah has said that the government plans to consult experts on initiating a process to declare Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party a 바카라proscribed바카라 outfit after police claimed to have seized weapons and petrol bombs from the former premier's residence in Lahore. Leaders of the ruling alliance lashed out at Khan who travelled from Lahore to Islamabad on Saturday to mark his presence at a district court here, amidst mayhem and chaos, as his supporters clashed with police. While Khan was in Islamabad, over 10,000 armed Punjab police personnel launched a major operation at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore and arrested dozens of his supporters and claimed to have seized weapons and petrol bombs.

Interior Minister Sanuallah said at a press conference on Saturday that the government would consult its legal team to assess whether a process could be initiated to declare the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party a proscribed group, Dawn newspaper reported. 바카라Terrorists were hiding in Zaman Park. Weapons, petrol bombs, etc have been recovered from the residence of Imran Khan which is enough evidence to file a case against the PTI for being a militant organisation,바카라 Sanaullah said. On the government바카라s plan to initiate the process to ban Khan바카라s party, the minister said: 바카라Primarily it is a judicial process to declare any party proscribed. However, we will consult our legal team on the issue.바카라

Separately, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appeared to agree with the assertion by his niece PMN-L Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz that Khan바카라s party is a 바카라militant organisation바카라.바카라If anyone had any doubt, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Niazi바카라s antics of the last few days laid bare his fascist and militant tendencies," he said in a tweet. Maryam said Khan was afraid of going to jail. 바카라I wonder if he calls himself a politician. Politicians are not afraid of going to jail and accountability. Only thieves and terrorists do. Fear of arrest shows cases against him (Imran) are genuine,바카라 she said and taunted the court on marking the attendance of Khan in the Toshakhana case without his appearance before it. 

바카라He is a coward as he left the court without marking his attendance바카라.Many PML-N Cabinet members held pressers to justify the police action against Khan and chided his party바카라s 바카라hooliganism바카라 at the Islamabad judicial complex, according to the newspaper. Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar told reporters that in his 30-year professional career as a lawyer, he had never witnessed a court seeking a signature (from a suspect) in a vehicle to mark his attendance like in the case of Imran Khan.  바카라Don바카라t make a joke of your judicial system,바카라 Tarar said. Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb also took on the judiciary for giving a 바카라bundle package of bail바카라 to Khan. 바카라Those terrorists who attacked police, the judicial system and the state got a bundle package of bail. This gives a message that he (Khan) is above the Constitution and law,바카라 she said.

Aurangzeb said that followers of Khan had not thrown petrol bombs on police and rangers alone, but they did so on the court orders as well. All state institutions are responsible for maintaining the writ of the government, she asserted.바카라Today, again law and court바카라s sanctity were trampled. He is trying to influence the court by bringing the people there. The court must take notice of it, otherwise, other political parties will follow suit,바카라 Minister for Climate Change and Pakistan Peoples Party leader Sherry Rehman said.

Khan arrived at the Islamabad Judicial Complex from Lahore on Tuesday to appear before the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal to attend proceedings on a complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan for allegedly concealing details of gifts in his assets declarations. Khan went back to Lahore after waiting for hours at the entrance of the court as police were unable to clear the way occupied by his supporters. Finally, the judge agreed to let the former premier mark his attendance on a document from his vehicle as the hearing in the Toshakhana case was adjourned till March 30.
