LAHORE – Chaotic scenes were witnessed outside the residence of Imran Khan as the old neighborhood of the provincial capital turned into a battleground when law enforcers clash with PTI armed workers.
The deadlock between the forces and PTI supporters ended after court ordered police officials to halt operations but it made waves across social media and garnered all kinds of reactions.
From Mahira Khan to Maya Ali and Syra Yousuf to Asim Azhar, celebrities took to social media to express their thoughts. Many questioned the lawlessness while others joined to support PTI chief Imran Khan.
This is absolutely ridiculous! Praying for everyone’s safety and for some sanity to prevail! https://t.co/lGmrT2gWoN

Singer Asim Azhar termed police action civil war, advising powerful quarters to avoid this loss and be prepared to conduct the elections in a dignified manner. Don’t be afraid to vote, he said.
Fashion designer Deepak Parwani also joined the bandwagon and said calling it stupidity.
The polarisation that this idiotic government is creating and the time effort and money being spent to arrest one man is ridiculous. If they would spend half of this on Pakistanis economy and the people . This country might go somewhere . #revenge #pakistan #pdm #PTIOfficial
