ISLAMABAD: Sep 17 (INP) Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said if the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has given directions for the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Pakistan (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan then their order should be implemented. The premier gave the statement during an interview to a private news channel. The host had asked him a question pertaining to the ECP directing police to arrest the PTI chief in the contempt of court case, after Imran’s persistent failure to appear before the institution. “Would the directions be acted upon?” the host asked to which Abbasi said if there exists such an order then it would be carried out. Then the host asked what if the Accountability Court orders the same in the corruption references against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the premier responded that if the accountability court gave such a verdict then it too would be implemented as there was no choice. The ECP had ordered the Islamabad Police on Friday to arrest Imran Khan and produce the PTI chief before it on September 25. The warrant is bailable and mentions that Imran may be let go by the police if and when he submits bail of Rs100,000 along with two sureties and vows to continue attending the ECP hearings unless otherwise stated.
