Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has termed party leader Shahbaz Gill’s arrest as “abduction”. Imran Khan shared the video statement of Gill’s driver who claimed that the PTI leader was tortured and dragged out of the car.

“This is an abduction not an arrest. Can such shameful acts take place in any democracy? Political workers treated as enemies. And all to make us accept a foreign-backed government of crooks."
