Pakistan is in the grip of murderous criminals. We will file cases against IG, CCPO &#038; others for murder,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nPTI leaders Farrukh Habib, Azhar Mashwani and Mussarat Cheema reiterated the claims of violence and brutality by the Punjab police on party supporters coming to attend the rally.<br \/>\n\u201cThe fascist government has crossed all limits of brutality.

and order but to avoid elections in Punjab province.<br \/>\nIn a video address, Imran told party workers \u201cto return home peacefully\u201d as the government was instigating demonstrators \u201cto resort to chaos, but we will not let them succeed\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PTI chief calls off rally as caretaker government imposes Section 144 in Lahore, arrests
