Strongly condemn govt trying, through PEMRA, to muzzle our voice through an illegal ban on us, violative of court order, on TV channels. Now to pressure media further, PEMRA has issued another notice accusing TV channels of violating their earlier. notice. Fascism at its worst.

Shell-like objects were fired at Imran Khan's Zaman Park residence, which produced a white powder, and despite the passage of 12 hours, severe chemical reactions were occurring on those who breathed near it.

زمان پارک رہائش میں اس طرح کی شیل نما چیزیں داغی گئیں جس میں سے سفید رنگ کا کوئی پاؤڈر نکلا اور 12 گھنٹے گزرنے کے باوجود اس کے قریب سانس لینے والوں پر شدید کیمیکل ری ایکشن ہو رہا ہے

On Twitter, Ex-PM Imran Khan said, "I am going to immediately take up the contempt issue, violation of the sanctity of my home & the violence against my workers & our domestic staff with our Judiciary."

The assault on my house today was first of all a contempt of court. We had agreed that an SP with one of our people would implement a search warrant bec we knew otherwise they would plant stuff on their own, which they did. Under what law did they break the gate, pull down trees pic.twitter.com/110uTeIlce

The Islamabad Court has adjourned the hearing and the PTI leader has been asked to appear in court on March 30, 2023.

Police have left former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's Zaman Park residence after allegedly recovering assault rifles and a cache of bullets and detaining over 60 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers accused of resorting to violence to hinder the law, Geo News reported.

The Court on Saturday allowed PTI Chairman Imran Khan to leave after making his presence at the gate in the hearing of the historic Toshakhana case. Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Zafar Iqbal said, "The situation as it is, the hearing and appearance cannot proceed," referring to the clashes between the police official and Imran Khan supporters outside the Judicial Complex.

"All those who have gathered here should disperse after marking attendance. There is no need for shelling or pelting [of stones], and the hearing cannot be held today," he added,  per Dawn News.

Imran Khan's Zaman Park residence in Lahore was raided by authorities Saturday. Police barged into his residence as high drama ensued. Khan is on his way to Islamabad to attend a hearing on the Toshakhana case. 

Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority has suspended coverage at the Judicial complex in Islamabad where ex-PM Imran Khan is set to appear.

PEMRA has suspended the coverage at Judicial Complex. On the side they’re trying to arrest Imran Khan who has bail in all cases.

Meanwhile Punjab police have led an assault on my house in Zaman Park where Bushra Begum is alone. Under what law are they doing this? This is part of London Plan where commitments were made to bring absconder Nawaz Sharif to power as quid pro quo for agreeing to one appointment.

— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI)

It is also obvious now that the entire siege of Lahore was not about ensuring I appear before the court in a case but was intended to take me away to prison so that I am unable to lead our election campaign.

The vehicles involved in Imran Khan's convoy met with an accident near Klarkahar, Pakistan's Geo News Urdu has reported.

The Toshakhana case against former Prime Minister Imran Khan is set to resume today (Saturday) in a district and sessions court in Islamabad, after Khan skipped multiple previous hearings and evaded arrest despite efforts by law enforcement personnel.

Khan is facing charges of concealing details of gifts in his assets declarations, as per a complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

He is scheduled to appear before Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Zafar Iqbal.

Khan departed from his residence in Zaman Park, Lahore, accompanied by a convoy of party workers, and is currently en route to Islamabad, according to the PTI.

The drive from Lahore to Islamabad typically takes over four hours, depending on traffic and the chosen route, as per Google Maps.

The Islamabad administration on Friday night imposed Section 144 in the capital, prohibiting private companies, security guards, or individuals from carrying weapons. It is mandatory for drivers to carry their vehicle registration documents while driving, reported Karachi-based Dawn media outlet.

In a tweet, the capital police said a traffic plan had been issued, and citizens were advised to avoid unnecessary movement towards the areas of G-11 and G-10.

“Chief commissioner Islamabad has directed citizens to cooperate with the authorities and avoid unnecessary movement to ensure the smooth implementation of the traffic plan.”

The Pakistan government on Friday shifted the Toshakhana case hearing venue from the additional sessions court to a comparatively safer Judicial Complex, Pakistan-based Dawn newspaper reported.

This came after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) informed the Islamabad police about its concerns over the security of party chairman Imran Khan.

The Chief Commissioner Office Islamabad issued a notification declaring Court No 1 Judicial Complex at G-11 as the venue for the hearing of the case filed by the district election commissioner against Khan, terming it a "one-time dispensation", according to Dawn. (ANI)

The federal government of Pakistan on Sunday made public the record of Toshakhana gifts since 2002 for the first time in the country's history. This happened a few days after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif announced that the federal government had approved the declassification of data from the state repository that contains gifts received by public officials from foreign dignitaries and other governments.

Daily Pakistan has reported that a 446-page document, containing records from 2002 to 2003, reveals the list of gifts received by presidents, prime ministers, and federal ministers. The document shows that during 2023, the current coalition government received 59 gifts from various countries.

As per the government records that were made public, 224 gifts were received in 2022, 116 gifts in 2021, 175 gifts in 2018, and 91 gifts in 2014. Additionally, government officials received 177 gifts in 2015. The document reportedly contains records of gifts retained by former President Gen (retd) Parvez Musharraf and former Prime Ministers Shaukat Aziz, Yusuf Raza Gilani, Raja Parvez Ashraf, Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan and incumbent President Arif Alvi.

Toshakhana is a department owned by the government and falls under the control of the Cabinet Division of Pakistan. It was established in 1978, and its primary role is to store gifts that are given to members of parliament, ministers, foreign secretaries, the President, and the Prime Minister.

It came under scrutiny when the Election Commission of Pakistan launched an inquiry against former Prime Minister Imran Khan for disclosing the details of Toshakhana gifts he had retained in his declaration.

As per reports in Pakistani media, the ex-PM is accompanied by a convoy of his party workers. Stringent security measures have been put in place outside the judicial complex in Islamabad's G-11, where Imran Khan is expected to arrive by noon.

All entry points to the G-11 Judicial complex have been sealed, the Lawyers also being denied entry. ICT police is clearly ready and instructed to undertake illegal orders of this regime! #چلو_چلو_عمران_کے_ساتھ
