Speaking to journaists after the government team left Zaman Park, Imran Khan confirmed that he had been given eight names but denied that a list of 2,200 workers had been submitted.

“I asked the government team, what about the workers already arrested who are being kept in horrible conditions?” he said.

He said that if there were proof of party workers being involved in May 9 attacks, the party will ask them to hand themselves over to the police.
