Apparently the students are divided on allowing Imran to join their protest. They don’t want it to be politicized. Imran should have gathered the sentiments before showing up. Now he’s in a bit of a hole.

Update:
Imran Khan has been taken away (or arrested) by a few ’sufaid-posh’ who were most probably cops.
