These people including former foreign minister of Pakistan are under house arrest
Soon after the order was issued, Pakistan’s former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, PTI leader Jamshed Cheema and his wife Musarrat Jamshed Cheema have been placed under house arrest for 15 days. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President Shah Mahmood Qureshi was arrested again minutes after being released from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, Pakistan’s Geo News reported.
Arrested again hours after release from jail
Soon after his release, party leader Musarrat Jamshed Cheema was also arrested again. Before his arrest, Qureshi said outside the jail that he was, is and will remain a part of PTI. After this, the police took the former minister to an unknown place. His statement about staying in the party came hours after the party’s senior vice-president Shireen Mazari announced her decision to quit PTI and politics, Geo News reported.
There was a ruckus in Pakistan on May 9
The Islamabad High Court is reported to have ordered Qureshi’s release on Tuesday after he submitted an affidavit that he would refrain from agitating and inciting workers. According to Geo News, Qureshi was among the top PTI leaders arrested from Islamabad within 24 hours of violent protests by PTI workers following the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan on May 9 in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
