He also criticised those who want chaos and anarchy instead of elections, stating that a party that wants elections will not support such behaviour.The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman urged his party workers to refrain from damaging public and private property, Samaa TV reported.
During the hearing in the Supreme Court on Thursday, Khan appealed to the public to protest peacefully and not harm the country.The court termed Khan’s arrest by Pakistan’s anti-corruption body as illegal, and ruled that the PTI chief should be released immediately. Khan was under the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
