Police have detained Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Gandapur candidate Dr

Key Highlights :

1. Ali Amin Gandapur was arrested by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police outside the Dera Ismael Khan bench of the Peshawar High Court on Thursday.

2. PTI released a video of his arrest on Twitter and claimed that the former federal minister was arrested on the orders of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman since he fears losing elections.

3. Reacting to the arrest, Imran took to twitter and said, “Today complete law of the jungle prevails in Pak. PDM [ruling coalition] & handlers have a one point agenda - that is to go after PTI workers & leadership. It was decided preemptively to arrest Ali Amin Gandapur despite bails. But they will still be decimated in the elections InshaAllah.”

     Ali Amin Gandapur, a close aide of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was arrested by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police outside the Dera Ismael Khan bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Thursday. Gandapur was reportedly arrested for violating the Anti-Terrorism Act.

     Gandapur, who is also the head of the PTI’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter, is a close aide of Imran Khan and has been a key player in the party’s electoral success in the province. He is also a member of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and has been a vocal critic of the PTI’s former leader, Shehbaz Sharif.

     Gandapur’s arrest comes at a time when the PTI is facing mounting pressure from the military establishment. Earlier this month, the PTI’s provincial president, Asif Zardari, was arrested on charges of corruption. The arrest has led to a rift within the PTI and has forced the party to distance itself from the PML-N.

     Gandapur’s arrest is likely to further weaken the PTI and could lead to its electoral defeat in the upcoming provincial elections.
