Islamabad: The Pakistan government will ban jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party on charges of involvement in anti-state activities. The government gave this information on Monday. According to the news of ‘The News International’, Information Minister Ataullah Tarar said that the federal government has decided to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). He alleged that the former ruling party is involved in anti-national activities.
There is evidence against PTI
Tarar said that there is clear evidence available to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and the government will initiate proceedings against the party. The government’s decision has come in the backdrop of the Supreme Court giving relief to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Khan in the case of illegal marriage in the reserved seat case. He said that in view of the foreign funding case, the May 9 riots, the cipher episode and the resolution passed in the US, our government believes that these are very credible evidences to ban PTI.
Announcement of imposing Article 6
Along with banning PTI, the Pakistan government has also announced the imposition of Article 6 against Imran Khan, former President Arif Alvi and former Deputy Chairman Qasim Suri. Under Article 6, the case can be sentenced to death. This can also put him in trouble for contesting elections in future. New cases have also been registered against Imran Khan on charges of terrorism.
‘The actions are like a terrorist’
Let us tell you that recently an anti-terrorism court of Pakistan had made a big comment. The court had said that the actions of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is in jail in connection with the May 9 violence, were similar to that of a “terrorist”. The court had also said that he assigned the task of attacking military establishments, government properties and police officers to the party leaders to pressurize for his release.
