The development came after the PTI chief was booked under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) regarding his comments at his Islamabad rally on Saturday.
A Twitter trend quickly gained traction, gathering 140,000 retweets at the time of this report saying: “Imran Khan hamari red line”.
A number of supporters converged on Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence in solidarity with their leader.

Fellow leaders asked people to converge at various locations in their respective cities with Hammad Azhar calling on them to rally at Lahore’s Liberty Chowk, while Farrukh Habib urged people to gather at Faisalabad’s Samandari Road.
