Pakistani Police Fail In Bid To Arrest Ex-Prime Minister, Imran Khan
|
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Pak police have been unable to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan , who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
despite having an arrest warrant from the court.
A warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to show up in court in a corruption case, DW reports.
The police in the Asian country turned up at Khan's home in Lahore on Sunday armed with an arrest warrant, only to find that the former leader was not available, officials said.
"A team of Islamabad police has arrived in Lahore to arrest Imran Khan to comply with the court orders," police said in a tweet.
"Imran Khan is reluctant to surrender — the superintendent of police had gone into the room but Imran Khan was not present there," the tweet added.
The English-language Pak newspaper Dawn said Khan was addressing his party workers at the residence as the police arrived.
According to DW, the vice chairman of Khan's Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem , each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) party, Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
 ...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
, denied that there was any arrest warrant.
"We have received the notice from Islamabad police — the notice does not contain any order for the arrest," he told news hounds.
"We will consult our lawyers and follow the legal process," he added.
Khan, who was forced out of office in a no-confidence vote last year, is the subject of an arrest warrant for having failed to appear before a court on February 28 on corruption charges.
The former prime minister is accused of failing to declare gifts received during his time in office or the profit made from selling them.
Under Pak law, government officials must declare all gifts but are allowed to keep those below a certain value.
Since leaving office, Khan has attempted to disrupt politics in Pakistain, holding protests, pulling out of parliament and dissolving the two provincial assemblies his party controlled in a bid to force the government to hold early polls.
In November, he was shot and slightly maimed in an attack on his convoy.
