'Law will take its course', Sanaullah warns Imran ahead of long march

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Monday warned former prime minister Imran Khan against creating a law and order problem in the federal capital during the planned long march, saying the law will take its course against those doing so.

"Law will take its course against Imran Niazi if he attempts to be the gravedigger of democracy during the march," Sanaullah said.

Mocking the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, the federal minister said he who destroyed the country's economy is now taking to the streets to put a halt to its recovery, Express News reported.

Sanaullah, who is also a senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N, vowed to not let such "efforts" succeed, saying that no mob acts or hooliganism would be tolerated during the planned political activity.

"Imran Niazi is a liar, and chaos and unrest are embedded in him and in what he says," the interior minister said. "No one trusts U-turn Niazi anymore."

A day earlier, deposed premier Imran Khan announced that his party would kick off its much-hyped long march against the “imported government” to the federal capital on May 25.

Addressing a presser, he had listed immediate dissolution of assemblies and announcement of a date for the next general election as the main demands of his party.

The PTI chief was ousted from power last month by Parliament following a no-trust voting against him. Ever since his ouster, Imran claims that the voting was a result of a foreign plot hatched against him for pursuing an independent foreign policy.
