Pakistan has been embroiled in a significant political upheaval for the past year, resulting in the removal of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government.
The nation has witnessed ongoing protests and frequent confrontations between the ruling party and the opposition. After a year filled with legal battles and clashes, the former Prime Minister himself, Imran Khan, was arrested today by Rangers within the premises of the Islamabad High Court. Reports have emerged suggesting that he has faced mistreatment, particularly regarding his injured leg, which was fractured by four bullets last year.
In light of these events, numerous Pakistani celebrities voiced their strong reactions on their social media platforms.
Mr Khan has been arrested for maligning the defenders of our country. No one will be allowed to attack the army. Long Live Pak Army.

Expressing her dismay, Atiqa Odho expressed her thoughts on Instagram, stating,”Imran Khan was arrested while sitting inside the court. Shameful! He was there to get bail but they used the moment to NAB him instead. Chief Justice should insist he’s presented back in court to ensure his safety at once! Any citizen following the law and respecting the courts of Pakistan deserves security!”
