Former Pakistan prime Minister Imran Khan said Wednesday the government wanted him behind bars in order to stop him taking part in elections due later this year.

"The reason why this is happening is not because I broke any law. They want me in jail so that I cannot contest elections," he told AFP after police called off a siege of his residence.
