LAHORE: PTI central Jasmhed Cheema and his wife Musarrat Cheema are likely to quit the party.
Their lawyer said here on Tuesday.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice President Dr Shireen Mazari was rearrested as soon as she was released from Adiala jail on the orders of Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi bench on Monday.
Earlier today, the LHC ordered the authorities to release the detained PTI leaderwho was taken into custody multiple times since the May 9 riots.
The bench’s orders came during the hearing of a plea filed against Mazari’s detention. The court has asked thePTI leader to submit an affidavit to the deputy commissioner assuring no involvement in violent activities in the future.
It is pertinent to mention here that after being released from custody on Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) orders on May 17, the PTI leader was re-arrested for the third time on the same day by the Punjab Police.
Mazari’s lawyer said that his client has been arrest once again. According to her counsel, the Punjab police rearrested the PTI leader, adding that he did not know about her whereabouts.
Last week, IHC barred authorities from arresting Mazari and her party colleague Senator Falak Naz Chitrali. The court had also stopped authorities from further investigating the two politicians when they appeared before the judge hearing a plea seeking relief from further arrest.
Mazari was first arrested on May 12 and detained at the Adiala prison when the government launched a crackdown against the leadership and workers of PTI following the violent protests and vandalism triggered by the arrest of party Chairman Imran Khan on May 9 on orders of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
