SUPPORTERS of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan threw bricks at police who fought back with clubs and tear gas today.

The second day of unrest came after officers tried to arrest the ousted premier for failing to appear in court on corruption charges.

Police have been besieging the opposition leader’s house in the eastern city of Lahore since Tuesday while his supporters hurled rocks and bricks.

Violence was also reported between Mr Khan’s supporters and police in other towns and cities, including Karachi and Islamabad. 

Mr Khan posed for cameras on Wednesday in front of piles of spent tear gas shells he said had been collected from around his home.

“What crime did I commit that my house has been attacked like this,” he tweeted.

Senior Pakistan Movement for Justice figure Fawad Chaudhry claimed that hundreds of Mr Khan’s supporters have been injured in the clashes.

The Punjab provincial government said that more than 100 police officers were injured in the clashes. 

Mr Khan was ordered to appear at court in Islamabad on Friday over charges of selling state gifts received during his premiership and concealing his assets.

Mr Khan denies the allegations which he says are a plot by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif to discredit him.
