*According to the Tribune, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah hinted that legal action could be taken to declare former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) a banned outfit.

*Rana stated at a press conference in Lahore on Saturday that the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) legal team was investigating the matter in light of several revelations that could result in a reference being filed against the party.

*According to him, Punjab Police along with other law enforcement agencies conducted an operation against the “no-go area” in Lahore where a purported political leader had allegedly created an “atmosphere of fear”.

“As a result of the operation, the no-go zone in Zaman Park has been removed.”

Despite having a search warrant, officials did not enter the home “He went on to say.

Guns, petrol bomb-making equipment, slingshots, and other weapons were also recovered from Zaman Park, according to him.

Earlier on Saturday, Punjab police conducted a surprise search of Imran’s home, hours after he left to appear before a local court in Islamabad, and arrested several people.

Former Punjab chief minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf president Chaudhry Parvez Elahi called the police raid at Zaman Park a grave violation of Lahore High Court orders, claiming that the operation was ordered by Maryam Nawaz and Rana Sanaullah.

The PTI leadership has strongly condemned the “state terrorism” attack on party chairman Imran Khan’s residence, which they described as “part of a London Plan to eliminate him,” according to the Dawn.
