Imran Khan Alleges Scripted Trials
ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has alleged that verdicts in cases against him were “pre-written” and designed to keep him out of the political process. Speaking through his sister, Aleema Khan, outside Adiala Jail, Khan maintained that his trials have been deliberately delayed and manipulated.
According to Aleema, the jailed PTI leader revealed that he had been pressured to leave the country but chose to face proceedings instead. She further claimed that irregularities were found in the jail trial, including a witness who was proven false.Read More here.
PTI Pushes for Bushra Bibi’s Immediate Bail
Aleema Khan also demanded immediate bail for Bushra Bibi, Imran Khan’s wife, in the Al-Qadir Trust case. She alleged that the prosecution’s plan was to first secure her sentencing in the Toshakhana case and then grant her bail in the Al-Qadir Trust case, terming it a “scripted sequence.”
Both Imran and Bushra Bibi have repeatedly accused the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) of acting as a tool of political opponents and the establishment.
Victimisation and Collapsing Cases
Imran Khan has also argued that dozens of cases were fabricated against him and PTI leadership following what he calls a “domestic and foreign conspiracy” behind his ouster in 2022. However, he highlighted that many of these cases have collapsed in courts, either through acquittals or suspension of sentences.
Despite ongoing legal challenges, Khan expressed sorrow over the martyrdom of youth in Tirah, underlining that his fight was not only political but also tied to the country’s future.
PTI Calls for Inclusive Peace Plan
Following a meeting with Khan in jail, PTI Secretary General Barrister Salman Akram Raja stressed that lasting peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the wider region requires engagement with all stakeholders. He conveyed Imran Khan’s message to Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur that “killing people and blowing up bombs will not bring peace,” urging a comprehensive peace dialogue.
