The former prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan stated that the ruling coalition's determination to remove him from the political landscape stems from their fear of losing the 2019 general elections.

He also accused former Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa of attempting to destabilise his government, saying he doesn't understand why the latter attempted to destabilise him.

"On Tuesday, I'm going to appear before the court in Islamabad for various bails and there are 80 per cent chances that I will be arrested," the former prime minister said while speaking in an interview with international media, reported ARY News.

In reference to his party's crackdown, the PTI head stated that over 10,000 workers, including senior leadership and women, have been arrested.

On Saturday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief intimated National Accountability Bureau (NAB) that he can join the probe in Al Qadir Trust Case next week, according to Dawn. Khan said that he can appear for the case's investigation on Tuesday by 11 AM.

Imran urged the NAB to confirm the aforementioned time for him to join the investigation in his response to the anti-graft watchdog's call-up notice.
