'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.
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."
