ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday strongly criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, asking why the apex court has “double standards of justice”.

Addressing a presser in Islamabad, Khawaja Asif said that the top leadership of major political parties had been arrested in the past. Still, none of them were given the facility of a guest house. He asked how long the nation will be fooled by rulings like these.

He claimed that all violence across the country was done at the behest of Imran Khan, but he was not held responsible. The minister said the PTI has a history of violence as they had attacked Pakistan Television’ (PTV’) building during the 2014 sit-in under the supervision of Imran Khan and the incumbent President Dr Arif Alvi.
