Waqar Younis congratulates Imran Khan on his release from custody
Former Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis has congratulated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for “winning the war” after his release from custody, following his recent arrest by the Rangers from the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC). Khan had been arrested in connection with a corruption case involving a property tycoon. After his arrest, several cricketers, including Waqar Younis, supported Khan. Younis, a former teammate of Khan, prayed for his safety and congratulated him on winning the fight. However, he also cautioned that the war was far from over.
Khan, a former prime minister, has been waging a tempestuous campaign for snap elections since being ousted from power last April. He has criticized the coalition government and the military, blaming them for his removal from power. Khan has accused senior military and government officials of plotting a November assassination attempt that left him with a gunshot wound in his leg.
The situation in Pakistan has been tumultuous, with the country passing through political turmoil. Sentiment has been echoed by Younis, who has previously tweeted in support of Khan. Younis has urged the protection of Khan, who is the leader of the PTI.
Khan has received blanket relief from the IHC, which has barred the authorities from arresting him until May 17 in any new case filed against him till May 9. He has been granted two-week bail in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case, and the court has also barred authorities from arresting him till May 15 in three terrorism cases.

Pakistan‘s current situation is precarious, and the political instability in the country is a cause for concern. It is vital for all parties to come together and work towards a peaceful resolution to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. The support of influential individuals such as Waqar Younis, a former cricketer, is crucial in garnering support and creating a stable political environment. The PTI leader, Imran Khan, needs to be protected to ensure that he can continue his campaign for snap elections and lead the country towards a brighter future.
