Interior Minister's Shocker Triggers Buzz Inside and Outside Pakistan
14:33 27.03.2023 (Updated: 16:00 27.03.2023) According to Pakistan's interior minister, the current situation in the country boils down to a struggle between two major parties -- either Khan's PTI or the ruling PML-N.
Pakistan's Imran Khan-led main opposition party, PTI, has approached European diplomats after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah labeled him as an "enemy" of the ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or (PML-N) on Sunday, who is at risk of imminent 'attack' from the current government.
Sanaullah declared that amid the political and economic instability in Pakistan, either Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Khan "will get murdered or us", claiming that the Shehbaz Sharif-led government would go to any length to stop Khan from coming to power again.
"PMLN's entire existence is in jeopardy and we will go to any extent against him to settle a score with him. Imran Khan has turned politics into enmity. Imran Khan is now our enemy and he will be treated like that," the minister added.
PTI Pitch Internal Tensions With Europeans
The minister's comments resulted in an unprecedented move, wherein members of Khan's party, presented the matter in front of foreign diplomats and global bodies.
Senior PTI members, former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, and ex-Finance Minister Asad Umar held a meeting with European Union (EU) diplomats in Islamabad.
On the other hand, former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser who is a senior PTI member,
wrote a letter to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), a global body of national parliaments, highlighting the alleged "political victimization, assassination attempts, and attacks on PTI" workers under the present government of Pakistan.
Furthermore, Qaiser branded the Sharif government as "fascist", before alleging that it was involved in framing "illegal policies" and violating human rights.
Meanwhile, PTI's contact person for Great Britain and Europe, Sahibzada 'Chico' Jahangir, told local media that they "don't want anything from the international community", and were only raising their voice for holding free and fair elections in Pakistan.
"We don't want anything from the international community. But we have a demand for the Pakistan government: free and fair elections. Here [in the UK] we live in a democratic society… if a government loses people's confidence, they leave. There is stability," he said.
On Tuesday, the PTI is set to release a report providing details of the alleged human rights violations against the party from May 25 till today.
Is Imran Khan Going to Jail?
Clashes between Khan's supporters and the police erupted about two weeks ago after the authorities arrived to arrest the 70-year-old PTI leader from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore city following a court order.

In the aftermath of the mayhem, the police filed several cases against PTI workers before arresting hundreds last week.
On Saturday, Imran Khan was granted pre-arrest bail till 4 April in three terrorism cases registered against the former prime minister.
