Senior Pakistani opposition leader Fawad Chaudhry arrested for publicly censuring government

 

Islamabad : Pakistani authorities on Wednesday arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party senior leader Fawad Chaudhry, hours after he publicly censured the government for scheming to arrest party chairman Imran Khan.

Fawad, a close aide of ousted prime minister Khan, was taken into custody from his residence in Lahore after a case was registered against him at Kohsar Police Station on the complaint of the Secretary Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

“This imported government has gone berserk,” PTI leader Farrukh Habib tweeted.
