According to Kakar, the PTI leader arrived at Quetta airport to attend party gatherings in Harnai , Zhob and Pishin cities of the province.

However, he said that the authorities gave Shaheen the option of either arresting him under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order or he could return to Lahore.

Earlier, Shaheen announced that he was going to Quetta to attend workers convention.

“PTI and Imran khan is the symbol of federation and deserve to be respected by all concerned to uphold the Constitution, Law and Democracy,” he wrote in a post on X.
