Speaking at an event on Thursday related to the May-9 incident, Bokhari said the PTI founder had been deliberately avoiding the polygraph test team for the past three days. \u201cAt times it\u2019s reported that he is asleep, other times he\u2019s eating, and sometimes the excuse is that his lawyers are unavailable,\u201d she stated. The minister said the former premier still struggles to accept his status as a convicted criminal. \u201cHe must understand this is Adiala Jail, not Bani Gala,\u201d she remarked. According to Azma Bokhari, Lahore police arrived at Adiala Jail under court orders to conduct polygraph and photogrammetry tests, but the PTI founder continued to dodge the process with various justifications. \u201cHis sisters and party leadership never tire of quoting court rulings, but when it comes to abiding by those very orders, the PTI founder refuses to cooperate,\u201d she added. Calling the refusal \u201can open rebellion and a conspiracy against the state\u201d, Azma stressed that those responsible for May-9 events \u2014 including the mastermind and their facilitators \u2014 must be held accountable. \u201cToday, the Lahore police are following the court directives, but the May-9 mastermind is desperately trying to escape the truth, fearing that his lies will be exposed,\u201d she concluded.
