Meanwhile police have entered the ground of the former PM's home in Lahore.
Police in Islamabad have clashed with supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan as he arrived in the city to appear in court.Mr Khan is appearing in court to address charges that he sold state gifts while in office, which he denies.Earlier in the week Lahore police tried to arrest Mr Khan after he missed a court hearing, and officers clashed with supporters outside his home.
The ex-PM says the charges against him are politically motivated but says he is attending court "because I believe in the rule of law". He told Reuters that he had formed a committee to lead his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf , in the event of his arrest. Mr Khan was ousted as prime minister last April in a no-confidence vote but has kept up pressure on his successor Mr Sharif with demonstrations and speeches calling for elections due later this year to be held early.
