There is neither any evidence available against PM nor has any witness recorded statement against him. <\/p>\n<p>The court was requested through the arguments it is politically motivated case and any possibility for conviction in this case stands ruled out. Therefore, he may be acquitted. <\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor also supported the acquittal plea from Imran Khan during the hearing of the case. <\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor told the court case was instituted against Imran Khan on political basis. This  case will be only wastage of time. Prosecution has no objection if the court acquits Imran Khan. <\/p>\n<p>It may be mentioned that enraged people had attacked PT headquarters during PTI and PAT dharna -2014. A case was registered against 70 persons including Imran Khan and Tahir ul Qadri by secretariat police in 2014 for attacking PT headquarters and parliament house and interfering in official work. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier court has acquitted PM Imran Khan in SSP violence case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD : Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) while accepting Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan plea has acquitted the PM in parliament attack case.
