PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry stated the operation was part of the plan put forth by PML-N main organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif and was intended to arrest Khan while speaking at a press conference at the party's office.
Addressing a press conference, Sanaullah said that 'coward' Khan created chaos to avoid the arrest, alleging that the PTI Chief went to the Islamabad judicial complex along with 100 armed men.
Taking to Twitter, Alvi said, "Another day in the life of Pakistan has passed without catastrophe. Only Allah ul Haq be thanked. Alhamdulillah Narrow escape. Any major accident could have happened."
The court's decision came after Imran Khan marked his attendance outside the Islamabad Judicial Complex, where he was supposed to be indicted in the case.
Judge Zafar Iqbal stated that the hearing and appearance cannot take place in the current situation due to the ongoing hostilities between Islamabad Police and PTI workers outside the Judicial Complex.
Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Usman Anwar said police had completed the search and cleanup operation in Zaman Park and seized AK-47 assault rifles and a large number of bullets from Imran Khan's residence in Lahore.
The Pakistan media regulatory body barred television channels from the live coverage of rallies or public gatherings and said that "today, a ban has been imposed on coverage of any party, person, or organisation."
Punjab police barged into Imran Khan's residence, hours after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman hit the road to appear in the court hearing on the Toshakhana case on Saturday.
PTI chief Khan is to appear in Toshakhana case in Islamabad today. Meanwhile, containers have been placed around judicial complex and Section 144 has been imposed in federal capital as PTI supporters have gathered around the judicial complex.
The Punjab government of Pakistan and the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have consented to let police search Zaman Park in relation to confrontations that occurred there on March 14 and 15.
