For “holding a public rally,” Zartaj Gul claimed in her plea that she was the subject of an Islamabad case. The former minister begged for travel bail before the high court, citing the arrest of numerous MNAs from the Parliament House.
The arrests of Shoaib Shaheen, Sher Afzal Marwat, and PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar took place on Monday. MNAs Sheikh Waqas Akram and Zain Qureshi were taken into custody by the Capital police while they were inside the Parliament Building.
Sahibzada Hamid Raza of the Sunni Ittehad Council, Yousaf Khan, Maulana Naseem Shah, Ahmed Shah Khattak, and Owais Ahmed Chatha were also taken into custody by the police.
On the directions of the court, Barrister Gohar, the chairman of the PTI, was later released.
The arrest of PTI MNAs outside the house was approved by Speaker NA Ayaz Sadiq, according to sources. Police produced a copy of the FIR they had filed against the PTI MPs for breaking protocol during the public gathering on September 8th, which prompted this event.
Furthermore, three complaints pertaining to infractions of the event’s no-occlusion certificate have been filed in Islamabad under the Peaceful Assembly and Public Order Bill. Barrister Gohar Ali, Sher Afzal Marwat, Shoaib Shaheen, Omar Gul, Zartaj Gul, Aamir Mughal, Seemabia Tahir, and Raja Basharat are among the PTI leaders named in the FIR, which names 28 people.
