Barrister Gohar says ongoing legal proceedings against PTI founder are part of concerted effort to detain him
\n LAHORE
\nThe Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has unveiled plans for a nationwide campaign advocating for the release of its founder, Imran Khan, whom they claim is facing political persecution.
\nSpeaking outside Adiala Jail on Tuesday, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan asserted that the ongoing legal proceedings against Imran Khan, particularly in the Al- Qadir Trust Case, are part of a concerted effort to detain him.
\nBarrister Gohar disclosed that the seventh witness in the case testified in court today, affirming that Imran Khan neither benefitted from the project nor caused any financial loss to the public exchequer. Despite this, Gohar emphasised that the case, like others, is being used to pressure Imran Khan into compromise.
\n\u201cImran Khan has one message for the nation: to continue their struggle for real freedom in the country,\u201d declared Barrister Gohar.
\nIn conjunction with upcoming by-elections, PTI announced plans for large-scale public gatherings across Pakistan, with a dual focus on electioneering and advocating for Imran Khan\u2019s release. Barrister Gohar instructed all party leaders to seek permissions for rallies, highlighting the significance of mobilising public support.
\nRegarding internal political affairs, Barrister Gohar revealed Imran Khan\u2019s directives for the party. Mian Aslam Iqbal is slated to serve as the Parliamentary Leader of PTI in the Punjab Assembly upon his return to active politics. Amendments to the party\u2019s Senate election nominations were also made due to ongoing litigation.
\n\u201cWith by-elections approaching on multiple seats, PTI is gearing up for extensive public engagement,\u201d announced Barrister Gohar, emphasising the party\u2019s determination to reclaim what they describe as their \u2018stolen mandate\u2019.
\nTurning attention to the upcoming Senate elections, PTI disclosed its candidates for various seats, including Syed Zulfi Bukhari and Faizur Rehman for Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa respectively. The party urged other candidates to withdraw their nominations, leaving only the covering candidates in the race.
\nCondemning statements made by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah against Imran Khan, Barrister Gohar urged authorities to take action, stressing PTI\u2019s application for FIRs against Sanaullah.
\nIn response to US diplomat Donald Lu\u2019s recent statement, PTI called for clarification from former Pakistan ambassador Asad Majeed regarding discussions between the two. Additionally, PTI demanded swift justice for civilians with cases pending before military courts, criticising the courts\u2019 lack of transparency and fairness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
