'Students' handed Khan to police
2007-11-15
Imran Khan, one of the last remaining independent political voices at liberty in Pakistan, was attacked by hardline Islamic students yesterday and handed over to police.
Imran, like most of Pakistain's leadership and wannabe leadership, is also a religious nutcase.
Mr Khan made his first public appearance yesterday since going into hiding when the emergency was declared on 3 November. Police had sealed off all entrances to Punjab University in Lahore, where he had announced that he would address students. Somehow he made it through the cordon, appearing suddenly just after midday, where hundreds of students had gathered, chanting slogans against the regime. He was immediately hoisted on to people's shoulders, raising his fist in the air, amid scenes of jubilation.

But events turned nasty very quickly as the "beards" - students belonging to the feared Islami Jamiat Talaba - moved in. The crowd was pushed towards a nearby building. Mr Khan was bundled inside and the gates were locked. Some claimed that he was punched repeatedly. The entrance was guarded by Jamiat students. An hour later, a van drove up and Mr Khan was shoved inside and driven off at high speed.

At the exit from the campus, he was handed over to police, who put him in a van and sped off. Rashid Mahmood Bhullar, 25, a Jamiat student, said: "Imran Khan came here and he interfered. We do not like interference from any politician."
"Dis here is our turf!"
