According to party sources, the CM’s convoy left Hyderabad around 12:30am but faced repeated delays due to road closures and barriers placed along multiple routes which he had to pass through.

During the hearing, the court also took notice of the absence of several accused and issued non-bailable arrest warrants for 40 to 45 accused who failed to appear.

Mirza reported, "Imran Khan was clearly very frustrated in detention, but one would expect nothing but frustration, given the fact that he had spent almost two years in detention before now.”

As the Leader of the House, PM Shehbaz has made an offer to the opposition that they should talk to him because talks are very imperative in parliamentary democracy, said Sanaullah.

The court has accepted the pre-arrest application of bail and extended the interim bail till 27 January.

The court granted the request and adjourned the hearing to January 2.

Achakzai questioned why Khan was being held in jail and barred from meeting family or senior party figures.

Noreen Khan said that she herself might be arrested for appearing in an interview with Indian media.

Tarar did not reveal the name of the PTI leader but slammed the party for “defaming Pakistan in the world.”

Kasim Khan added that keeping Imran Khan in isolation is “not a security protocol.”

Afghan media outlets claimed that Pakistan’s establishment was behind Imran Khan’s alleged death.

Cases were registered under the Anti-Terrorism Act in multiple police stations in connection with PTI’s November 24 protest and the ensuing violent demonstrations.

Aleema Khan had staged a sit-in at Gorakhpur Naka near Adiala Jail after not being allowed to meet Imran Khan.

Aleema Khan went live from Adiala Jail last night with fellow party workers and expressed uncertainty over Khan’s presence there.

Kasim Khan criticised Pakistan’s government and said such actions would not intimidate his family.
