Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday appeared before a four-member joint investigation team (JIT) at the SSP Islamabad office amid tight security in a case relating to threatening female judge Zeba Chaudhary. The JIT of Islamabad Police is headed by SSP (Operations) Islamabad Farhat Abbas Kazmi. Imran Khan faced some 20 minutes of investigation by the JIT and answered questions posed by the police, which later handed the PTI chief a written questionnaire containing 21 queries. Talking to reporters after appearing before the JIT, Imran Khan reiterated his demand for free and fair elections. Speaking to reporters outside the SSP office, Imran Khan said that the terror case against him had created an embarrassment for Pakistan. Imran Khan said that Pakistan was being forced into a situation like that of Sri Lanka. Shehbaz Gill was kidnapped and subjected to torture, and when we were raising funds for flood victims, TV transmission was shut down, he said. “The more you push up against the wall, the more we are preparing [for it]. If I gave the call for Islamabad, you won’t be able to cope with it,” said Imran Khan.
