“Police, FIA all have forgotten their jobs and are targeting our people,” Imran Khan said. He added that people were being picked up from their homes and families were being threatened.

However, Imran said that only a few people had left the PTI and most ticket holders were still standing firm.

He even recounted one instance where he himself told a ticket holder to leave the party if he was facing pressure, but the member refused to leave saying the people of his area said they would not vote for him.
