'Most painful Eid': Pakistan's former PM Imran Khan
Islamabad, Jun 29 (PTI) Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan on Thursday in his Eid greetings to fellow countrymen said this year's Eid festival was the "most painful" one for him.
Taking to Twitter to wish people, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman said about 10,000 of his supporters in jail were being treated as criminals after his supporters attacked military installations and government buildings following Khan's arrest in a corruption case on May 9.
"For me, this is the most painful and painful Eid. Nearly 10,000 of our activists and supporters have been jailed while being treated like criminals for exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest," the 70-year-old cricketer-turned-politician tweeted.
