Pervaiz Elahi responds to rumours about leaving PTI
Shares
An Islamabad anti-terrorism court (ATC) granted the capital police a two-day physical remand of PTI President Parvez Elahi in a newly surfaced terror case dated back to March 18. This development occurred shortly after Elahi's release following the suspension of his detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance by the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
Parvez Elahi has faced multiple arrests, with this latest one marking the 11th in various cases since June, following a widespread crackdown on the PTI following the May 9 violence incident. The posts on X (formerly Twitter) by Islamabad police, announcing Elahi's release and re-arrest, occurred within a mere eight-minute time difference.
The police clarified that he was detained in a case registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.
During a court appearance at the Federal Judicial Complex (FJC), Elahi expressed his stance, highlighting his overnight detention at the Crime Investigation Agency police station and his reluctance to meet anyone. He firmly denied any plans for a press conference, reminiscent of several PTI leaders quitting the party post-May 9 incidents.
