Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan had been carried out in accordance with the law and the Constitution.

He said that the PTI, as a political party, would have limited its reaction to just politics. “But the PTI had already decided that their reaction would not be political and they would become a militant organisation, that they would pick up stones and guns and attack the state,” he said.

He went on to say that there were only two examples of the Pakistan Army General Headquarters (GHQ) coming under attack — once by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and then by the PTI.
