The dilemma is the most corrupt in army are Generals who are sitting in their drawing rooms or even abroad. Common soldiers are fulfilling their orders and standing against the people of Pakistan. But time is not far now when these Generals will be dragged on street. They are stetching this beyond their limits.

Stop saying he was arrested, he was kidnapped/abducted while already in a court office..

[Khansaabkhan]

We Afghan were telling 100times to Pakistanin people that it’s your establishment that destroyed Afghanistan and today they realize we are right

[reyyanaslh]

It’s about high time that Pakistanis citizens come out on the roads to defend their leader.

[Black-Strk]

this was a kidnapping by a militarized group, not a police arrest which it could have been. And why would police need to break in through windows to enter a court room during the hearing.

[anubhavTiwari]

Literally it is such a shameful act like there ex prime minister got arrested like this and whole world sees it. Such an shameful act by current pakistan regime

[abudazul]

Pakistan wants Imran Khan to be free at any cost. Nation loves its leader❤

[nibinkoshy]

Crazy.. Netflix should make a series on Imran Khan's life.. from a world cup winning captain to being hunted by his own country's army.. what a life!

[madhuaryal]

But unfortunately this anti corruption never touches any corruption from military. Military in any country's main job is to defend and maintain law and order but Pakistan's military main job is real estate, housing societies. These housing societies deal in cash and all black money.

[usmanrana]

May Allah protact Imran khan he's one in trillions a true and brave leader

[fuadahmed]

Shame to Pk armed forces, and it's a result of long-term intervention to the politics direct or indirectly proved huge lack of professionalism!! Pk is on fireworks at the moment, and of course, stability is uncertain again 😢.

Allah Hamari bacchiyon per aur Hamare bacchon per Raham Karen

[ammarahsan]

Army brought in a retired army general as NAB chairman a few weeks ago to do this.
