Karachi Police on Sunday booked several leaders and workers of the Pashtun Tahfuzz Movement (PTM) in an abetting mutiny case after they held a protest demonstration outside the Karachi Press Club demanding the release of MNA Ali Wazir, the Dawn reported.
In a video message, Imran Khan said, "I will start the protest from tomorrow (Tuesday) in Lahore and then will go to Pindi on Wednesday, Faislabad, Multan against the appointment of corrupt Mohsin Naqvi as Punjab's caretaker CM."
The remarks by Sharif came after Imran Khan in a recent interview claimed that former army chief General (R) Qamar Javed Bajwa had "sent two brigadiers" in the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in the Panama Papers case that ultimately led to the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif.
The joint investigation team was reconstituted after four members of the team levelled allegations against the team's head Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ghulam Mahmood Dogar.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry rejected the appointment of Naqvi as caretaker Punjab chief executive and vowed to launch a massive campaign against "this system".
The ECP shared a press release on Twitter saying, "#ECP has unanimously decided to appoint Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi as Care-Taker Chief Minister Punjab." PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry rejected the decision taken by ECP and said that the commission "never failed to disappoint."
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will on Sunday evening hold a meeting to choose Punjab's caretaker chief minister, the Dawn reported, adding that the meeting was necessitated as the bi-partisan parliamentary committee established by the Speaker of the Punjab Assembly speaker failed

"General Bajwa changed after the extension and compromised with the Sharif. He decided, at that time, to give them the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)," former Pakistan's PM Imran Khan said in an interview
