The Punjab cabinet decided to file a lawsuit against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) officials and former prime minister Imran Khan for creating a "hateful narrative against the state institutions," Dawn, a Pakistan-based publication, stated. The province administration released a statement stating that the decision was made during a meeting of the Punjab cabinet, which was presided over by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
While addressing a press conference in Lahore, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari said the home department had submitted an inquiry report allegedly revealing that PTI members were "spreading mischief inside and outside the (Adiala) jail." Azma Bokhari alleged that the PTI spread propaganda that Imran Khan was not permitted to meet anyone. She further said that the party was "spreading hate as part of organised propaganda".
