Two weeks ago, the special court had rejected the post-arrest bail applications of Imran and Qureshi, noting that “sufficient incriminating evidence is available” against them. But Islamic militancy rose in Pakistan during Mr Khan's reign and he was widely criticised for calling Osama Bin Laden a martyr in 2020. He went on to Oxford, where he captained the university's team while studying politics and philosophy. And last year, human rights groups accused Mr Khan of being an apologist for rapists following comments he made on an increase in sexual assaults.

Khan had travelled to Islamabad on Tuesday morning to seek bail in two corruption cases, some of dozens involving corruption, sedition and terrorism that he is facing. But will it work? The ABC has spoken to some of Mr Khan's closest allies, Pakistani experts, and staunch opponents who are all split on whether he can succeed in becoming prime minister again. Once in power, Mr Khan did follow through on some of his promises. He introduced the social welfare system, a universal healthcare system in two provinces, and saw progress on a program to deal with poverty. The tension between the prime minister and the military might have given Mr Khan's opponents an opportunity to pounce, according to Omar Qureshi, former media adviser to one of the leaders of Mr Khan's rival parties, Billawal Bhutto.

When he first became prime minister, Mr Khan's opponents accused him of having a cosy relationship with Pakistan's powerful military. Some even accused the military of rigging the election in his favour, which the electoral commission denied. I think despite his hero image, Imran Khan has serious problems … he was making statements that alienated a lot of people." Imran Khan was casually dressed when he stepped off a bus in Pakistan's biggest city of Lahore to kisses and hugs from so many fans he could barely breathe. In Pakistan’s most populous state,​ ​Punjab​, nearly 1,000 people were arrested and the army was deployed. At least 25 police vehicles were set on fire in the province, with 130 officers injured in clashes and more than a dozen official buildings looted, the government said, blaming Khan’s supporters.

If a woman is wearing very few clothes it will have an impact on the man unless they are robots. It's common sense," he told HBO's Axios.

We will stand with you, not because I am shouting political slogans, but because it is my duty to stand with the weaker class," he told a rally of 100,000 people in Lahore in 2011. Because in Pakistan, governance not only means you manage the political forces, but you also deal with powerful state institutions like the army." During the hearing, the FIA team was present as well as Imran’s lawyers Salman Safdar and Umair Niazi. The former prime minister’s lawyers Naeem Haider Panjotha and Latif Khosa also reached the jail to attend the hearing. The PTI leader, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, said the party was working to secure Khan’s release and would not be deterred by arrests and intimidation. He confirmed the PTI had approached the supreme court to challenge the legality of Khan’s detention. Sex, or at least the idea of it, is never far from Imran Khan," an article in Indian magazine Caravan said.Meanwhile, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who was also arrested in the same case, was presented in the same court at the Federal Judicial Complex, where his attendance was marked. Later, his judicial remand was also extended till Oct 10 and the hearing was adjourned. A day earlier, Chief Justice Farooq allowed the PTI chief’s petition for his transfer to Adiala Jail. He was a young boy who was very smart and all the girls from universities were after him, but I never thought about him in this way. Members of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party called the former prime minister’s arrest a “state abduction” and said the makeshift hearing in the police station was a “kangaroo court”, claiming senior lawyers and figures from the party were being prevented from meeting Khan.
