Party leaders, according to PTI, are being relocated to a “undisclosed” location.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday claimed that the party’s top brass is being transported to an undisclosed location from Kot Lakhpat jail a day after PTI leaders and activists started voluntarily presenting themselves for arrest in Lahore under the party’s “Jail Bharo Tehreek”.

A video posted on PTI’s official Twitter account showed a car following a prison van that was allegedly carrying the party’s Vice President Shah Mahmood Qureshi, General-Secretary Asad Umar and senior leaders Azam Swati and Azam Niazi.

The PTI alleged that police were taking PTI employees who voluntarily turned themselves in for detention yesterday in Lahore to a secret location from Kot Lakhpat jail.

They had driven on Multan Road after crossing Thoker Niaz Baig in Lahore, it was claimed.

On Day 2 of the movement, former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser stated that “Jail Bharo Tehreek’s” primary goal is “to rule the country in accordance with the Constitution.”

“We intend to govern the nation in accordance with the Constitution. Only until it is run in accordance with the Constitution and the law will the nation be stable, he remarked.

While lauding the Supreme Court’s suo motu notice of the delay in holding polls in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the former NA speaker added that he hopes the apex court will play its fundamental role.

He also said that the party will protest whenever anyone tries to break the law or the Constitution.

Pervez Khattak, the leader of the PTI, revealed during a news conference that the party’s K-P leadership will turn themselves in for detention today.

The drive will next be carried out divisionally, the former defence minister stated.

He added that the party’s primary demand is to hold free and fair elections and that the current administration came to power in order to inflate the nation.

The PTI kicked off its “Jail Bharo” drive on Wednesday as leaders and activists of the party started voluntarily presenting themselves for arrest.

The PTI Central Media Cell claimed that those who were courted arrest in Lahore included Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Umar Sarfraz Cheema, Azam Swati, Muhammad Madni, Murad Rass, Ihsan Dogar, Siddique Khan, Azam Niazi, Abdul Wakeel, Shadi Khan, Gulfarm Virk, Muhammad Rehman, Hamed Ullah Khan, Mian Shahzad, Noran Sohail, Rana Manan, Chaudhry Zahid, Malik Sajid Prince, M Ahmad Bhatti, Shahzad Khokhar and Azhar Bhatti among other party’s central and provincial leaders as well as activists
