Imran Khan defiant in police custody LAHORE, Pakistan, Nov 14 (AFP) Former Pakistan cricketer and chief of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf Imran Khan told AFP from police custody he was trying to start a student movement against emergency rule when he was arrested on Wednesday after more than a week in hiding. “I came to the university to lead a rally of students against the dictator Musharraf and his illegal actions, Khan said. “I would have presented myself for arrest in full public view but my goal was to set in motion a student movement. Khan spoke to AFP by telephone shortly after he was detained while trying to lead a rally at Lahore’s Punjab University. He said he was betrayed by a group of students. “The majority of the students were with me there but a group of them from Islami-Jamiat-Tuliba collaborated with the administration and police, Khan said. “They took me into the office and then forced me out into a van. They did not allow me to be arrested publicly. He added: “I have achieved my purpose. I have started the student movement, I have set the tone for it. Police earlier confirmed they had arrested Khan and would place him back under house arrest, which he slipped out from more than a week ago.

Imran Khan arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was arrested here Wednesday after he emerged from hiding for the first time since emergency rule was imposed. Khan appeared at Punjab University in Lahore ahead of a planned protest against President Pervez Musharraf and was immediately pushed inside a campus building by a crowd of students. However, a student organization has reportedly locked Imran Khan in a room at the Punjab University demanding of Imran to leave the university at the earliest. The former cricket captain, who now leads his own opposition party, was placed under house arrest on November 3 after the state of emergency was declared, but slipped the net days later and had been in hiding ever since.

What is that argument we get to hearfrom some stupid jamiat people and even from one teacher in YOUTUBE video that Imran was not a student, employee or related to Punjab University so he was an Alien. First of all, Punjab University is not a private institution. It is a state owned educational instituition is and can never be alien to any pakistani national. Secondly i personally know so many people who once were student of that university but keep living there under the protection of Jamiat and keep acting as vigilante for moral enforcement. If Jamiat allows those small time ghundas to keep operating out of the campus even though they are not student or employee of the university then why would they object to Imran’s presence there.
Although what Jamiat did to Imran was abhoring and deplorable but it worked out right. It increased the stature of Imran’s leadership in the eyes of the average Pakistani’es like me and at the same time it dented the hegemony of Jamiat in Punjab University.
Just for this incident I have decided to join PTI and will do my best to help strenghten Imran’s movement for justice.
i was so depress to see this all, Imran khan is only leader in Pakistan who run this country

Hello ,

Now this is an eye opening for all of us that we should stand for Imran khan and support him in any field for the betterness of Pakistan and for better future of our children
Imran Khan: Scroll up the bar, every one is condemning this coward act , you have chosen a difficult way where you will have to face difficult hard ships,
But we are with you & will always remain with you.
May Allah give to such strength to that you can lead our country towards the right path. Aameen.
Imran Khan Zindabad!!
