Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sheikh Waqas Akram has termed the £190 million corruption case against former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi as “political victimization,” warning the government that the public will not tolerate any injustice against the incarcerated ex-premier.
Key Points:
- Nature of the Case: Sheikh Waqas Akram described the case as “political revenge,” alleging that it is an attempt to force PTI founder Imran Khan to bow before the government.
- Public Reaction: He warned that if injustice is committed against Imran Khan, the 190 million people will not tolerate it.
- Judicial Proceedings: The accountability court in Islamabad has postponed its verdict in the case until January 6, raising concerns within PTI.
- International Response: Sheikh Waqas Akram stated that the case will draw global reaction, which could be detrimental to Pakistan’s international reputation.
The PTI leader further emphasized that Imran Khan was merely a trustee of the Al-Qadir Trust and that the case lacks substance.
