PTI leaders Fawad Chaudhry, Hammad Azhar, Asad Umar, Murad Saeed, Omar Ayub Pervaiz Khattak and thousands of party workers reached Bani Gala, Khan’s private residence in Islamabad, and held a sit-in to obstruct the PTI Chairman’s arrest.

Meanwhile, PTI supporters also gathered in other cities of the country to register their protest against the former premier’s possible arrest.

In Lahore, scores of PTI supporters gathered at Liberty Chowk and staged a protest.

Similarly, protests were also held in Gujranwala, Sialkot, and Faisalabad.

In Karachi, PTI supporters launched a protest at Shahrah-e-Faisal near Insaf House, however, after registering the protest, supporters dispersed, Geo News reported.

During the protest outside Bani Gala, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said: “Imran Khan is present in Bani Gala, however, hundreds of PTI supporters have reached here and thousands of supporters are heading towards Bani Gala.”
