Imran Khan - Voice of Urdu - وائس آف اردو

Khan’s party holds a rally in Islamabad, marking its first show of strength since the disputed February elections.

Chris Patten, the current chancellor of Oxford University, announced in February that he would be stepping down.

Officials from PTI, which the government says it wants to disband, are reported to have been detained.

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar made the announcement and accused the opposition of engaging in anti-national activities.

A Pakistani court on Monday ordered the detention of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi until July 22 on charges of abuse of power, Geo TV reported.

Khan was acquitted after another appeals court upheld the sentences of the two, but his lawyer said he would not be released.

Geneva-based UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention says ‘appropriate remedy’ would be to release Khan ‘immediately’.

Amid a crackdown against it, the former PM’s party is resorting to tech-driven, unconventional campaigning strategies.

Despite pressure on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), party chairman and jailed former prime minister Imran Khan is expected to contest the February 8 general election, his party has confirmed.
