ISLAMABAD: Police here on Tuesday, arrested Pakistan Tehreek-i-insaf’s prominent leader Andleeb Abbas, while she was on her way to Bani Gala to see PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
Abbas was released soon after a short detention, while she was going to visit her Chief Imran Khan at his Bani Gala residence.
While last week, Singer Salman Ahmed was released after a brief detention in Islamabad. The singer was arrested while he was on his way to visit Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan.
Television footages showed police tear gas at Abbas and other PTI workers, including women, as they tried to break barriers to march to Imran’s residence.
The clash between government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has soared once again on Tuesday as a PTI worker lost his life due to excessive tear gas shelling.
The PTI activists threw rocks and bricks at the riot police as they charged forward in an attempt to remove the roadblocks. Commenting on the situation, PTI senior leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the government was not only arresting PTI workers and leadership but they were also using violence against them. According to latest reports, Andleeb abbas is released now.
