It is pertinent to mention that a few days ago, security agencies raided the PTI central office in Islamabad and arrested party’s spokesperson Raoof Hasan, and 11 others for the party’s alleged involvement in anti-state activities on social media.
Later, the Islamabad administration also sealed the PTI’s central secretariat. At present, 11 accused including Raoof Hasan are in police custody on physical remand.
