Pakistan arrests opposition leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi

The Pakistani opposition leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi was detained on Saturday.

His Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said, just hours after he said it would challenge any delay to the country’s election in the courts, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.

Party spokesperson Zulfi Bukhari told Reuters the specific reason for the detention of Qureshi, twice Pakistan’s foreign minister, was not immediately clear.

The caretaker information minister did not respond to a request for comment.

Bukhari condemned the arrest on the social media platform X, saying Qureshi was “arrested for doing a press conference and reaffirming PTI stance against all tyranny and pre-poll rigging that is going on currently in Pakistan”.
