FIA authorized to act against Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD – November 6 (ONLINE) The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been empowered to act against PTI Chairman Imran Khan and other senior party leadership for allegedly ‘inciting people against state institutions’.

According to a media report, the government has enabled FIA to act under Pakistan Penal Code’s (PPC) Section 505 to act against senior PTI leadership for urging and inciting people against state institutions.
