Following Imran Khan’s arrest, the PTI supremo released a video claiming he recorded it on March 22, after the Pakistan Army warned of military prosecution against rioters involved in the May 9 violence. In the video, Khan is urging supporters and his party workers to exercise restraint and hold peaceful protests.
Khan claimed, “I have consistently told my party workers that whatever the provocation, they should only hold peaceful protests. Whenever there is an independent investigation, I will prove who had guns and who of arson, they were planted among the protesters.”
