Former Punjab chief minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Saturday challenged his arrest under MPO in Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The PTI leader has challenged his detention under MPO through his counsel Abdul Razzaque. Secretary Interior, IG Police and others have been made respondents in the plea.
He pleaded with the court to strike down his arrest under MPO and order his immediate release.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, who had been re-arrested by the Islamabad police from Lahore yesterday, was shifted to Attock Jail on Saturday.
Soon after he was shifted to Islamabad, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad ordered his detention for a period of 15 days under the Pakistan Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
The order issued by the Islamabad administration stated that law and order situation could be worsened due to Pervaiz Elahi, who is a key office-bearer of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
