He wasn’t arrested outside the court, I heard they came through the windows and arrested him inside the court. Whoever did this is clearly acting above/outside the law and you shouldn’t be trying to make it sound legitimate!

[SulimanAliJ]

Shameful and cowardly acts of military establishment, , literally scared of his power in public.

India 🇮🇳 stands with IK. What Pak army did is totally undemocratic. Democracy should be respected no matter what. Pakistanis should fight for their rights and not allow oppressing elements to oppress them.

He is arrested because real rulers (lord's) of Pakistan are afraid of him ( Pakistani army and ISI ).
