Farrukh Habib tried to stop police convoy transporting Fawad Chaudhry to Islamabad
PTI leader Farrukh Habib shared a video in which he can be seen trying to stop the police convoy that was transporting party senior vice-president Fawad Chaudhry.
Habib could be heard yelling at the police, “You are committing contempt of court.”
Earlier today, The Lahore High Court had ordered police to present Fawad before it by 1:30 pm but the government’s lawyer told the court that the motorcade transporting Fawad has left for Islamabad.
At this the court ordered to “bring him back even if he is taken to Islamabad.”
Chaudhry was arrested outside his residence in Lahore in the early hours of Wednesday for ‘threatening’ Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) members.
Lahore’s local court has approved the ‘transitory remand’ of PTI leader and allowed the police to take former federal minister to Islamabad.
On the other hand, the Lahore High Court (LHC) has summoned the Inspector Generals (IGs) of Islamabad and Punjab police at 6pm today after the authorities failed to present Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior vice-president Fawad Chaudhry before it.
Earlier a day, in his speech outside Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore, Fawad warned the ECP, its members and their families, according to the FIR.
The FIR states that Chaudhary said that the status of the election commission was reduced to that of a “Munshi [clerk]”.
Fawad said that those who become part of the caretaker government will be pursued until they are punished. He added that the people sitting in the government would be pursued to their houses.
