During the hearing, which was presided over by Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh, Imran’s counsel stated that new cases were being filed against his client on a daily basis, and he requested that police officials appear in court and explain whether an arrest was even necessary.
Imran revealed that he had learned of an upcoming operation at his Zaman Park residence during the Eid holidays.
The PTI chief claimed that the government did not simply want to imprison him, but also wanted to eliminate him, and he urged the court to issue strict orders prohibiting the government from carrying out any further operations.
Imran had previously approached the LHC in relation to all of the cases filed against him throughout Pakistan.
