Even though Imran Khan made a furious commentary over the troubled situation, he avoided answering a number of questions from reporters.
People who make decisions or finalise them should think about the country, said Imran Khan.
The terrorism case was filed against Khan after he made threatening remarks about a female additional sessions judge.

The court accepted the pre-arrest bail until September 1 against surety bonds worth Rs 100,000.
Imran Khan had moved his bail plea through his lawyer Dr Babar Awan and advocate Ali Bukhari.
When reporters pressed Imran Khan to comment on the situation, he said just one sentence, “I am very dangerous.”
Later, he said, “They are trying to arrest the head of the largest party of the country in this case.”
According to him, Pakistan is being mocked throughout the world at this time. The government, he claimed, was trying to score a “technical knockout” against him.
Last week, a case was registered against PTI chairman Imran Khan for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park.
A case under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act was filed against the Interior Minister in Gujrat city, about 150 kilometres from Lahore.
“Rana Sanaullah’s statement was to terrorise the judiciary, chief secretary and other government officials and to not let them do their job so that they are unable to fulfil their judicial commitments,” said the report, which cited an old video of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader.
According to the FIR, the minister’s statement has caused fear and terror among the judiciary, authorities, police, bureaucracy and nation, said Geo News.
Furthermore, Moonis Elahi, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q), said that the Interior Minister will be arrested soon. “You make false cases against Imran Khan, now the Pakistani nation has registered a true case against you,” he tweeted.
Interestingly, it was on Sanaullah’s orders that Imran Khan was booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
