PTI leader Sardar Latif Khosa has been taken into custody by the Punjab Police in Lahore after authorities started arresting protesting PTI workers yet again.

According to his son Shehbaz Khosa, his father was arrested by station house officer Cantt. Earlier, police had arrested PTI-backed provincial assembly member Hafiz Farhat Abbas.

Party leader Sher Afzal Marwat called the arrest “utterly deplorable and wholly intolerable”, adding that the authorities in Punjab need to stop the “unfair behaviour”.

“The liberty to protest in a peaceful manner is a right of ours,” said Marwat.
