ISLAMABAD: Pakistani police arrested on Monday a retired army general and prominent supporter of former prime minister Imran Khan on charges of inciting the public and government employees against national institutions.

The charge against retired general Amjad Shoaib, which carries a 7-year sentence, came after he appeared on the Pakistani BOL news channel last Saturday criticizing authorities for keeping Khan's supporters jailed, especially in remote areas of the South Asian country.
