Imran Khan should be punished for conspiracy against country: Maryam

Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been arrested. He was arrested by the country‍‍`s anti-corruption agency National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from outside the High Court in the capital Islamabad today.

According to several Pakistani media reports, including Geo News and Dawn, members of the Pakistani Rangers arrested former Prime Minister Imran Khan outside the Islamabad High Court today.

However, several information about the arrest of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan have come to light. Many say the arrest was made in the wake of Pakistan‍‍`s Information and Broadcasting Minister, Maryam Aurangzeb‍‍`s speech yesterday.

According to the report of Pakistani Media Dawn, the day before the arrest of Imran Khan, the country‍‍`s Information and Broadcasting Minister Maryam Aurangzeb said that the ongoing problems of the country will be solved only if PTI Chairman Imran Khan is arrested.

Not only that, on that day Maryam Aurangzeb also said that the former prime minister should be punished for conspiracy and corruption against the country. She also said that Imran Khan‍‍`s ‍‍`dirty mentality‍‍` is giving rise to intolerance and violence in the society.
