Imran Khan booked
Earlier, The cricketing icon-turned-politician has faced mounting legal challenges over the last few days. The last week saw multiple cases filed against him, including one under anti-terrorism laws for “threatening” senior police officials and a female judge, as well as contempt of court and unlawful assembly.
The former PM was charged with threatening current government officials and a judge Sunday after he criticized the individuals at one of the large, boisterous rallies he has held since he was ousted as prime minister in April in a parliamentary vote of no confidence. The rallies are attended by thousands of supporters and feature fiery speeches by him denouncing Pakistan’s current government as corrupt and a puppet of foreign powers.
“Is this a banana republic? Is there any law here?” Khan said in brief remarks after exiting the court. “Those who are making these decisions, I want to tell them, you better think about what’s good for our country.”
The government is “afraid of the rising popularity of our party, and that’s why there are cases like this,” he continued. “But they are making a joke of this country.”
