“Nothing can be said about the undertaking unless a meeting is held [with the PTI leader],” he said, adding that the legal team would once again try to visit him in jail. “We can only submit an undertaking after taking directions from him,” Malik stressed. Notably, the PTI leader remains in police custody five days after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) termed his arrest illegal and issued orders for his release. Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb had heard the PTI leader’s plea against his arrest under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order Act (3MPO) last week.
The court declared the arrest null and void and instructed the concerned authorities to ensure his release after he signs an undertaking. Despite relief from the courts, however, there appears to be no respite in the crackdown on PTI leaders. Their arrests followed violent protests that erupted following PTI chief Imran Khan’s arrest, where sensitive state and military institutions were targeted.
