TDTV.Cam Hours after the police claimed he was avoiding arrest in the case, Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan demanded a public trial of the Toshakhana case in front of a crowd at his residence in Lahore on Sunday.
Khan, who was 70 when he tried to kill someone in Wazirabad last year, has been recovering from a gunshot wound. He has missed three indictment hearings in an Islamabad court because of the case.
In connection with warrants issued in the Toshakhana (gift repository) case, a police team traveled to Lahore on Sunday to arrest the former premier. They went to a room in Khan’s Zaman Park home where he was supposed to be, but he wasn’t there.
Islamabad police stated in a tweet that “Imran Khan is reluctant to surrender” and that “the Superintendent of Police had gone into the room but Imran Khan was not present there.”

Dawn reported that when the Islamabad Police arrived at Imran Khan’s Lahore home, they were greeted by a large number of PTI employees. Fawad Chaudhry, a senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had called for the workers to gather there, threatening nationwide protests if Khan was arrested.
Khan stated that he had never “bowed before any man or institution, and will never let you do so as well” when addressing the crowd of party adherents.
The former prime minister claimed that he had invited the general public to his residence to express appreciation for their involvement in the court arrest movement. He continued, “I didn’t call you to support you; I called you to say thanks.”
Khan stated that he would “not bow in front of anyone and nor allow anyone else [from his party and supporters] to do so,” equating his cause with a holy mission and vowing to continue his “jihad for true freedom.”
