Court Order and Proceedings
On Friday, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad declared Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur a proclaimed offender (PO) in a case filed at the I-9 police station. The charges include vandalism and violating Section 144 in the federal capital. ATC Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra issued the order after Gandapur repeatedly failed to appear despite multiple summons.
Non-Bailable Arrest Warrants for Other Suspects
The court separated Gandapur’s case from the other suspects involved in the case. Non-bailable arrest warrants were issued for Raja Rashid, Wasiq Qayyum, Faisal Javed, and Umer Tanveer, who also failed to appear in court. Lawyers representing the absentees sought exemption for their clients, but the court rejected the request and annulled the bail bonds of the individuals who were absent.
Case Details and Adjournment
The case, which includes charges of terrorism, was filed against PTI leaders Ali Amin Gandapur, Faisal Javed, Khurram, and Waqas at the I-9 police station in Islamabad. The court has adjourned further hearings in the case until November 28.
Impact on PTI’s Islamabad Rally
The court’s ruling against Gandapur comes just days before PTI’s planned rally in Islamabad on November 24. Despite strict orders from the federal government prohibiting the protest, the KP CM is expected to lead PTI supporters in the demonstration, which is anticipated to be a major political event.
