Sunni Ittehad Council Chairman MNA Sahibzada Hamid Raza, along with PTI-backed MPAs from Faisalabad Rana Asad Mahmood and Hassan Zaka Niazi, as well as several PTI activists, appeared before the court. The court issued arrest warrants for dozens of other PTI activists who failed to appear on Friday and directed that they be produced in court at the next hearing.
