Insisting on his views against political vengeance, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Wednesday opposed putting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan behind the bars immediately. “Even if Imran Khan has done something, I’m not in favour of putting anyone in jail,” the former premier said while speaking with journalists in Islamabad. As allegations are made on a daily basis, he said, trials should also be conducted simultaneously.
Earlier, Abbasi had also opposed the plans to arrest former finance minister Shaukat Tarin for allegedly attempting to obstruct Pakistan’s talks with the IMF — International Monetary Fund.
Commenting on the ongoing cases against the PTI chief, the former PML-N’s senior vice-president said: “After completing this matter, punish Imran Khan if he has done anything.”
