ATC orders seizure of Imran Khan, Tahirul Qadri's assets after no-shows in terrorism case
2017-07-15
[DAWN] An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad on Friday issued orders for the seizure of properties belonging to Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
and Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri
...Pak politician, and would-be dictator, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran and Pakistain Awami Tehrik. He usually resides in Canada, but returns to Pakistain periodically to foam at the mouth and lead demonstrations. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, Qadri claims to be the author of Pak's blasphemy law. Other times he says it wasn't him...
after the two repeatedly failed to appear in hearings of terrorism cases registered against them.

The ATC also issued notices to this effect to the relevant cop shoppes and revenue boards.

On February 3, an ATC had issued perpetual warrants of arrest against Khan and Qadri in a case related to an attack on a police brass hat during the 2014 dharna which paralysed Islamabad.

ATC judge Sohail Ikram had issued the perpetual arrest warrants after police submitted a report stating that the suspects could not be tossed in the slammer
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
despite a proclamation being issued.

On Sept 1, 2014 during the sit-ins, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Asmatullah Junejo was beaten up by protesters on Constitution Avenue on his first day on the job as SSP Operations of ICT Police.

Secretariat police had started the paperwork but haven't done much else against several PTI and PAT workers for their alleged involvement in vandalism and attacking SSP Janjejo.

The ATC had issued warrants for Khan and Qadri with directions to the police to produce them before the court. Police had later told the ATC that the execution of the arrest warrants against the two politicians could not take place as they were not found at their residence.

Police also submitted a report before the ATC, saying that a police party had gone to the residence of Imran Khan in Bani Gala where a security guard informed them that Khan was not at home and that he did not know where he was.
