Imran Khan gets bail in EC case; Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says Pakistan has defaulted; more

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday appeared before the Lahore High Court, which granted him protective bail in a case linked to violent protests outside the election commission, amidst high drama inside the court premises where hundreds of his supporters converged to show solidarity with him.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists staged a violent protest after 70-year-old Khan was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the prohibited funding case last year.
