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.
“PTI workers who voluntarily presented themselves for arrest yesterday in Lahore are being transported from Kot Lakhpat jail by the police to an undisclosed location,” claimed the former ruling party.
It added that they had crossed Lahore’s Thoker Niaz Baig and were driving on Multan Road.
On Day 2 of the movement, former speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser said that the fundamental aim of the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” is that “we want to run the country according to the Constitution”.
“We want to rule the country according to the Constitution. The country can only be stable when it is governed according to the Consti tution and law,” he said.
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.
