Expressing fears that he might be arrested again, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan warned on Friday there would be no-one to control the masses if he was put behind bars. During an informal conversation with media representatives during his appearance at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on the instructions of the Supreme Court, Imran alleged the people were being pitted against the military. When asked further if he met anyone during the arrest, Imran replied that he did not meet anyone except his lawyer Khawaja Harris. A foreign journalist asked Imran whether his arrest was linked to his allegations against a serving military officer, the PTI chairman replied: “Those were not allegations, but facts”. The lawyers told the former prime minister that there were reports of 40 deaths during the violence but so far deaths of 21 people could be confirmed.
