The PTI chief had held a rally at the Mall Road a few days ago without the permission of the authorities. He appeared in the district returning officer's court in person and received the notice. Later, talking to the media he said that he believed in the rule of law and respects the courts but did not do anything wrong to gain political mileage. He answered several questions and said that his opponents were levelling allegations without confirming facts.
