Ex-Pak PM Imran Khan's party threatens to launch full-scale movement for his release
A senior leader of incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan has threatened to launch a full-scale movement for his release after Eid Al-Adha if he is not freed before the festival. Ali Amin Gandapur, Chief Minister of the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the prominent leader of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, was speaking with media after meeting the PTI supremo at the Adiala Jail near Rawalpindi on Thursday. Khan, 72, has been in jail since August 2023 in multiple cases. His party had organised rallies in the past too demanding his release. 'If we don't see Imran Khan being released before Eid Al-Adha, we reserve the right to protest. We are moving towards a movement by bringing the people on the street against Khan's unjustified and unfair detention in fake cases,' Gandapur said. 'The nation must awaken and now it is time to release him from jail. We will no longer tolerate slavery. When we protested from time to time,' he said in response to a question. Gandapur stated that the PTI will make every possible effort and 'we will act swiftly,' as the country is being destroyed by the decisions of those 'who have seized power.' Gandapur termed Khan's continued imprisonment as 'a grave injustice,' and expressed frustration over the government's refusal to allow free dialogue with their incarcerated party leader. He also pointed out how the judiciary has lost its independence, particularly after the 26th constitutional amendment. 'There's no hope left from the judiciary. If the courts were truly independent, we would be seeing free and fair decisions.' Gandapur also condemned the prolonged detention of Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, who he claimed, has been kept under house arrest for 14 months 'without justification.'

‘Real criminals are…': Netizens clash as #ArrestKohli trends on X after outrage over Bengaluru stampede
'#ArrestKohli' has been trending on social media platform X following the stampede outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium that claimed 11 lives on June 4. However, some other netizens lashed out at Karnataka government officials, and organisers, calling them 'the real criminals.' '***pid people trending #ArrestKohli. While the real criminals are organisers and government officials. And of course such fans who are climbing over others,' one user posted on X, along with a clip showing massive crowds who gathered outside the stadium to catch a glimpse of Virat Kohli and the IPL trophy — the team's first in 18 years. After the stampede, cricket icon, Kohli — who was unarguably the most adored on Tuesday night, and for whom cricketer Suresh Raina had earlier demanded the Bharat Ratna — was someone who the social media wanted behind bars. Angry netizens took to X to express their outrage, demanding Virat Kohli's arrest, adding to the hashtag's trend, with the social media platform clocking over 45,000 posts. While some netizens argued that the Bengaluru stampede was due to management's failure, other users were not convinced, and demanded the cricket icon's arrest. '#ArrestKohli? For what — showing up and leaving after the event? He didn't organize the crowd. Blame the system, not the stand with you, King,' wrote one user. Meanwhile, other fans were quick to refer to Pushpa 2 star Allu Arjun's arrest, who was nabbed by the police in December last year — after a stampede at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre — that killed a woman, and severely injured her child. Netizens' demand for Virat Kohli's arrest comes hours after RCB officials were taken into custody. Earlier in the day, the Head of Marketing and Revenue of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Nikhil Sosale, was among other official taken into custody by police in connection with the stampede outside Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, police sources said on Friday. Nikhil Sosale, Head of Marketing and Revenue of RCB, Sunil Mathew and Kiran Kumar from DNA entertainment private limited are among those being questioned, sources told news agency PTI. Not just Virat Kohli, and RCB officials, but several government officials, including Karnataka CM's political secretary, others bore the brunt of the stampede that shocked the nation. K Govindaraj was relieved from the post of political secretary to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with immediate effect, said a state government notification. Apart from this, Hemanth Nimbalkar, Karnataka's Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence), was also transferred without a new posting amid the outrage over the stampede. Confusion over the victory parade, free passes, overcrowding and limited seats at the Chinnaswamy Stadium are said to be some of the major reasons that led to the brutal stampede. According to police sources cited by PTI, what satrted as a confusion soon spiraled into a stampede when a large number of cricket fans—many without entry tickets—attempted to force their way into the stadium alongside those with valid passes. The chaos was further fueled by conflicting announcements. At 11:56 am on Wednesday, the Bengaluru Traffic Police stated there would be no victory parade, only a felicitation ceremony at the stadium. But at 3:14 pm, the RCB team's management declared that a victory parade would take place at 5 pm. This left fans in a frenzy, unsure of what to expect.
