PTI Chairman Imran Khan has alleged that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is aligned with the army and was “dismantling the democratic system to keep me out”.

“The way they have used the pretext of arson […] they have used that reaction after my arrest to dismantle the party,” he said in an interview with CNN, referring to violence on May 9.

Imran stated that hundreds of women and children have been jailed. “They are now trying to try us in the military courts.”
