PTI submits resolution in NA seeking release of Imran Khan, Asad Toor

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday submitted the resolution in the National Assembly, seeking the release of party founder Imran Khan, other political leaders and workers, and seniour journalists Imran Riaz Khan and Asad Toor

The motion was submitted by PTI secretary general Omar Ayub Khan and seniour vice-president Asad Qaiser to the staff of the lower house of the parliament. 

In the resolution, the former ruling party demanded to quash all unlawful cases against the leader of the "Muslim Ummah" immediately.

It also demanded the release of other PTI leaders and workers, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Pervazi Elahi, Dr Yasmin Rashid, Omar Sarfaraz Cheema, Ejaz Chaudhry, Mahmood-ul-Rasheed and others.

The motion added that the cases against the former prime minister were politically motivated and that had no lawful background.

Imran Khan's party, in a resolution, said that seniour jounralists Imran Riaz Khan and Asad Toor, who were arrested to defame Supreme Court online, should be released immediately.

PTI founder and other party leaders have been incarcerated on several charges following the May 9 riots, which were triggered by the arrest of Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case.
