Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram has condemned the £190 million corruption case against former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, labelling it the “worst example of political victimisation.”
Speaking at a press conference in Peshawar on Monday, Akram warned that the public would not tolerate further injustice against the imprisoned ex-premier.
Akram’s remarks followed the postponement of the verdict in the case, which had been expected to be delivered on Monday but was rescheduled to January 6 by an Islamabad accountability court.
He expressed frustration over the delay, questioning why the verdict had been postponed and what was causing such complications in delivering the judgment.
Akram questioned the delay in the verdict of the Al-Qadir Trust case, stating, “The decision in the case was supposed to be announced Monday, but it has been postponed. We want to know where the judgment is being written and why it is taking so long. There is nothing substantial in this case, yet it is being dragged on as a tool for political revenge.”
The PTI leader stated that the case was politically motivated, describing it as “political revenge.” He criticised the government for using the case to target Khan, who he called the “biggest leader” of Pakistan, and warned that the situation would attract international attention.
