\n FAISALABAD
\nLeaders of the ruling coalition parties on Sunday reacted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan\u2019s possible arrest, stating that the deposed prime minister is \u201cafraid to get arrested\u201d.
\nPakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz took to Twitter to criticise Imran and said that \u201ctoday the country knows the difference between a leader and a jackal\u201d.
\n\u201cEven if the lion is innocent, he holds his daughter\u2019s hand and comes to Pakistan from London to give his arrest and if a jackal is a thief, he hides by making other people\u2019s daughters a shield for fear of arrest!\u201d she said.
\nIn another tweet, PML-N\u2019s chief organiser asked the party supremo Nawaz Sharif to lend some of his courage to Imran.
\nMeanwhile, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the \u201cday the government decides to arrest Imran, it will not be a difficult task to do so and he will be arrested within no time\u201d.
\n\u201cIf the government had wanted, he [Imran] could have been arrested during his appearance in the high court,\u201d he added.
\nWhile talking to the media in Faisalabad, the federal minister maintained that the PTI chief is getting arrested on the court\u2019s order and the government is not taking the initiative.
\nSana also said that \u201cconducting elections is the job of the Election Commission of Pakistan [ECP] but the current situation is in front of everyone\u201d.
\nHe furthered that \u201csuch elections should be held after which the country moves towards improvement.\u201d
\nSana claimed that \u201cImran\u2019s story of an assassination attack on him is based on lies, he does not have anything else to say.\u201d
\nPakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon also lashed out at the PTI chief and said that the \u201c\u2018Jail Bharo Tehreek\u2019 chief Imran Niazi (a coward) is afraid to give his arrest even on court orders.\u201d
\n\u201cThose who preach the rule of law are today flouting court orders,\u201d he added.
\nThe comments by the PDM leaders come as Islamabad police travelled to Lahore earlier in the day to arrest the PTI chief in relation to warrants issued in the Toshakhana (gift repository) case against him.
\nAccording to police sources, the former premier is avoiding arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
