Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif was asked for written permission by the Interior Ministry to arrest PTI chairman, Imran Khan. A case was registered against Khan under Anti-Terrorism Act for threatening a police officer and session Judge at a rally in the capital F-9 Park.
The former Prime minister left his residency in Bani Gala to halt arrest. The interior ministry had been asking for permission from the PM house to arrest Khan. However, it was also decided that the arrest will be made based on the consensus of all parties.
Whereas Asif Ali Zardari, former president has opposed the arrest of Khan, saying that the damage will be to the ruling alliance.
Furthermore, in PDM (Pakistan Democratic Movement) Maulana Fazlur Rehman did not give a clear stance following the Imran arrest.
A police force has been located at Bani Gala where roads were blocked. Only allowing close people to meet him along with the residents. Hence, it is not decided whether Khan will be arrested or kept under house arrest.
