“I am afraid today that Pakistan is on the route to destruction,” Khan, meanwhile, said in a video address. “And I fear that if wisdom is not exercised today, we might reach a stage where we wouldn’t even be able to pick up the pieces,” he added.
The development comes hours after Amir Mir, a spokesman for the Punjab provincial government, said Khan has 24 hours to hand over 40 suspects allegedly hiding at his home or face a police raid.
He told a news conference that so far 3,400 suspects have been arrested and more raids were underway.
