0:45Now PlayingPakistan’s government is holding legal consultations on whether to open a case against former leader Imran Khan over remarks he made about state institutions in a speech over the weekend, a senior minister said.
During a press briefing on Sunday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the speech continued a trend by Khan of targeting the army, judiciary and police and “was meant to threaten officials and prevent them from their lawful duty.” The government was “taking advice from law ministry on the necessary, lawful action,” he added.
Khan’s supporters gathered in Islamabad on Sunday night following a separate report that he would be arrested after a complaint over the speech was formally filed with police in Pakistan’s capital, local media said. The first information report, which was registered under Pakistan’s anti-terrorism act, said that Khan “terrorized and threatened top police officials” and a female judge during the speech, according to a copy of the complaint seen by Bloomberg News.
