Iman Mazari says unfortunate that Imran forgot workers, party leadership

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - PTI leader Shireen Mazari was on Monday re-arrested from outside Adiala jail hours after the Lahore High Court had ordered her release.

Taking to Twitter, PTI leader Farrukh Habib wrote, "Punjab police have arrested Ms Mazari outside Adiala jail".

The Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi Bench had, earlier, declared PTI leader Dr Shireen Mazari's arrest illegal and ordered her immediate release. 

Justice Chaudhry Abdul Aziz of the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court conducted hearing of the petition filed against detention of PTI leader Shireen Mazari. 

Shireen Mazari's counsel Barrister Shoaib Razzaq and Aneeq Khatana appeared in the court while her daughter Iman Mazari was also present. 

The court ordered that if Shireen Mazari was not named in any other case, she should not be arrested again. The court also asked Shireen Mazari to submit an affidavit to the deputy commissioner that she would not indulge in any such activity in future. 

Speaking to the media, Iman Mazari said her mother was arrested three times in a week. “But today the court cancelled the second MPO order against my mother. The government should not try to destroy the houses like this,” she said. 

Iman Mazari said she had no link with the PTI but it was unfortunate that Imran Khan forgot the workers and party leaders.
