Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf president Chaudhry Pervez Elahi arrested
Lahore, Jun 1 (PTI) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party president Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, a close aide to former prime minister Imran Khan, was arrested outside his residence here on Thursday, the party said.
"Shameful how the regime doesn't stop their fascism. The inflation has skyrocketed to 38%, and their response is arresting former CM Punjab Parvez Elahi. Absolutely ridiculous," the party tweeted along with a video in which the 77-year-old leader was seen being dragged by security personnel from his residence, Zahoor Elahi.
The former Punjab chief minister's arrest comes amidst the powerful establishment's efforts to break the party of Khan. Currently, over 100 PTI leaders and former lawmakers have quit Khan's party following May 9 attacks on military installations in the country.
