Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had been planning the party’s reaction to his arrest.

“You (Imran) say you had been arrested, you don’t know what happened? Imran Khan sahib, for one month you were planning, planning was taking place under your supervision regarding the PTI’s reaction to your arrest.”

He said that after Imran’s arrest, PTI leader Murad Saeed had called workers to reach the “given targets and duties” which proved that the violence was planned.

He said that the burning of the Lahore Corps Commander House was also a “target” given to the PTI workers.
