By Caroline Davies and Gareth Evans outside the homes of Imran Khan in Lahore and London, Pakistan's main opposition leader Imran Khan has greeted supporters outside his home hours after violent clashes occurred as police tried to arrest him. In Zaman Park, the former prime minister is surrounded by people. Outside his Lahore home, a crowd of supporters listened to the former prime minister speak.

He gave a speech to the crowd in Lahore and took pictures with them near his house.

He is seen wearing a gas cover in one video. Police used tear gas shells during the night's clashes.

One official stated that the arrest operation had been put on hold.

According to Amir Mir, Punjab's interim information minister, the standoff was significantly disrupting traffic, so the court-ordered operation to detain Mr. Khan was stopped on Wednesday to make room for a nearby cricket tournament.

He said that the activity would most likely happen after the Pakistan Super Association (PSL) last on Walk 19.

Pakistan imposed a six-year international cricket ban in 2009 following gunmen's attack on the Sri Lankan team. In addition, international players had to wait years to return, and the upcoming tournament necessitates a significant security operation.

"We can't afford to risk the PSL's safety and security," a senior police official said, according to the Reuters news agency.

Later on Wednesday, the Lahore High Court requested that the arrest of Mr. Khan be postponed until Thursday in anticipation of the outcome of a conference regarding the veracity of the capture warrant.

Officials and paramilitary personnel were seen leaving the house's location in the Zaman Park suburb, some allegedly ignoring designated spots and road obstructions.

Mr. Khan then went outside to talk to his backers. His PTI party's Twitter account stated, "The police and officers sent off hurt Imran Khan were moved back by individuals."

The 70-year-old man, who was ousted as prime minister in April, is allegedly accused of selling state gifts while in office. He asserts that politics are at the center of the case.

His allies recited his name as they gathered on one of the streets, which is a significant expressway in Lahore.

Officers in riot gear had earlier used tear gas and water cannon to disperse hundreds of supporters at the compound. Some of the crowd threw stones and bricks.

Following that, the police made a forceful attempt to break into the house in order to arrest Mr. Khan for failing to appear in Islamabad's court.

Waqar Khan, a PTI ally, expressed, "I have never seen such fierceness, that shocks me." "Aren't we just people?" Tazeen, a woman, asked about the clashes on Tuesday. What kind of country is this? "Tazeen, a woman, stated that the people around me were unable to breathe."

Mr. Khan asserts that two previous militant attacks prevented him from appearing in court due to security concerns. The legislator has proposed signing a promise to appear in court on Saturday.

He had previously stated that because he had been granted protective bail until Saturday, there was "no reason" for him to be arrested. In addition, he stated that despite previous unsuccessful attempts, the government was determined to imprison him.

He asserted that the authorities were attempting to detain him to stop his party from participating in the upcoming elections. He added, however: Regardless of my imprisonment, they will not be able to prevent my party from winning."

The cricket legend bowled out as Pakistan's PM Government serve Marriyum Aurangzeb expressed that the move didn't have anything to do with decisions and that the police were just conforming to court orders. Imran Khan's high-stakes election bet She claimed that Mr. Khan was using members of his party, including women and children, as human shields, avoiding arrest and inciting unrest.

Since he was ousted from office, Mr. Khan has frequently voiced his disapproval of the government and the country's armed forces. He has ventured to every part of the nation giving enthusiastic talks on the side of holding decisions sooner than anticipated not long from now.

He continues to exert pressure on his successor through demonstrations and believes that Shehbaz Sharif is to blame for an attempted assassination in November that left him with a leg wound.

Sohail Warraich asserts, "His governance was not very good, his governance was not exemplary." When Imran Khan was elected in July 2018, he campaigned on the promise of change and stressed that he was not a member of the political dynasties that had ruled Pakistan for 75 years.

He also said he would stop following the dishonest policies of previous governments; however, he is also now being accused of corruption.

He was disqualified from running for political office for a period of five years in October by the election commission for falsely declaring information about gifts from alleged sales of foreign dignitaries and their proceeds. Mr. Khan said that the case was motivated by politics.

He never held any political ideology in his heart. He is basically a famous person who wants to get more attention. God help Pakistan if Imran ever regains power, which I seriously doubt.

He predicts that Mr. Khan will win the upcoming elections.

"Our system is extremely corrupt. And Imran is the only one fighting against that system," he informed the "They want him down." They attempted to kill him. because he is the one individual who is disrupting the 75-year-old system."

However, Sohail Warraich is of the opinion that Imran Khan's return to power is extremely remote.
