In a Twitter message, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Chairman, Imran Khan, said, “I feel embarrassed as a Pakistani to witness the depths we have sunk to thanks to this imported regime of a cabal of crooks & their handlers. In desperation to cling to power & muzzle all dissenting voices, they have jailed a respected, patriotic Pakistani on sedition charges.”
