Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s neighbours, including elderly sisters of lawyer Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan, have moved Lahore High Court against Imran Khan for “disturbing Zaman Park’s peace” amid PTI and police standoff. However, the Lahore High Court did not entertain their petition.
Officials from law enforcement agencies have been trying to enter Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore for the last two days to arrest him in connection with the Toshkhana case. However, after the PTI chief asked his supporters to “come out on roads”, protests erupted in various cities of the country with the PTI supporters stopping security personnel from entering Imran Khan’s residence.
During the clash between the PTI supporters and security personnel outside Zaman Park, as many as 54 policemen have been injured so far.
Meanwhile, the elderly sisters of lawyer Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan, Dr Shireen Zafarullah and Nasreen Khalid Cheema, approached the Lahore High Court against Imran Khan for disturbing their peace and quiet.
They maintained that Zaman Park is encroached on at multiple points, causing traffic blockade, while loud music by PTI supporters at night time is causing sleepless nights to the neighbours, The News reported.
The LHC did not entertain their petitions, saying the petitioners should approach the Justice of the Peace to pursue this matter.
The sisters approached LHC after receiving no response from Imran Khan on the protest letter they wrote to him.
The sisters had also written to a number of officials, including Punjab chief secretary, inspector general of police, Lahore commissioner and SHO of Race Course Police Station. However, they received no response from either of the parties.
