The kind of protests that broke out today can't continue for long; if they do, they would push the country towards a martial law or a state of emergency.
But the officials have made a mistake arresting PTI chairman Imran Khan from IHC premises, inviting the ire of the chief justice, according to Haider Waheed.
The law expert told Khabar Say Aagay host Raza Rumi that the Al-Qadir Trust case is a strong one which warrants a probe.
He termed the former premier's arrest a litmus test, saying it will prove whether PTI workers will succeed or be defeated from securing a polls date.
Journalist Abbas Nasir termed today's protests unprecedented. Imran Khan and the rest of PTI leadership isn't revolutionary; they need the support of the institutions, he maintained.
Reporter Javed R Khan commented that the former premier was only left with the top court. He said that if the PTI chief is released tomorrow, it will completely change the political scenario of today.
Khan was arrested by Rangers in the Al-Qadir Trust case, by a heavy force of the paramilitary personnel from the premises of the courtroom where he had appeared to secure pre-arrest bail in multiple FIRs registered against him.
According to videos circulating on social media, PTI chief was sitting in the diary section of the high court to get his biometric verification done, when armed Rangers personnel forcibly entered the room and took him away.
At least 50 uniformed personnel in riot gear could be seen surrounding the former premier as they forced him to enter a black vehicle with signals jamming equipment installed on it.
