A local court in Islamabad on Wednesday issued arrest warrants for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Pakistan Awami Tehreek’s (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri and 26 others for not appearing in front of court for the hearing of a case of violating Section 144 during party sit-in in 2014.
According to the details, Judicial Magistrate Waqas Rasheed issued arrest warrants for Irman Khan, PAT head Tahirul Qadri, Asad Umar and 24 others politicians for not appearing in court in a case of violation of Section 144 and the Amplifier Act during the sit-in in the federal capital in 2014.
Unlike Imran Khan and Qadri, the sit-in famous DG Butt appeared in court for the hearing and submitted his plea of acquittal which was overruled by the court.
