Imran Khan says his conviction was aimed at forcing a political settlement
Listen to the article
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan believes his recent conviction in the £190 million case is part of a political strategy to force him into a deal, and has rejected any suggestion of negotiations or compromise.
During an interaction with media outside Adiala jail, Imran's sister Aleema Khan expressed her brother's stand, saying the PTI founder president had strongly rejected the idea of an agreement.
“He will not make any deal. He has no intention of negotiating with the government. He will continue to face the charges against him no matter how long he stays in prison,” remarked Aleema Khan.
Imran Khan's comments followed his conviction in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case, in which he and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were convicted. Khan, however, believes the sentence is politically motivated and designed to break his resolve.
Aleema Khan further clarified that the decision had nothing to do with the ongoing negotiation committees.
She noted that her brother had pleaded for the case to be taken to higher courts where it could be examined in depth.
She said the case will reveal more facts as it moves through the court system.
She also questioned the fairness of the judicial process, pointing out that figures like former President Asif Ali Zardari and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif were not held accountable in similar cases. “Why are only Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi facing these charges?” she asked.
PTI leaders expressed confidence that the higher courts will provide a fair trial and allow them to present a detailed case.
Khan's legal team is preparing to challenge the conviction, believing the proceedings will highlight alleged political bias within the justice system.
Aleema Khan also criticized the involvement of some judges, referring to concerns previously raised by the Supreme Court about judges like Nasser Javed Rana, suggesting that the judicial environment in Pakistan is compromised by political influence.
PTI to challenge Al-Qadir Trust decision
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is all set to challenge the judgment in the ₹190 million Al-Qadir Trust case in the High Court on January 21 (Tuesday), saying the decision is “controversial” and that party founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were “wrongly” convicted.
PTI central information secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram confirmed on Sunday that the party would file an appeal to overturn what he called a “serious miscarriage of justice”.
He hoped that the names of PTI supremo Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi would be cleared in the first hearing, lamenting the judgment as “a blatant travesty of politically motivated justice and trumped-up charges”.
The decision to appeal follows a select committee meeting that examined the legal and political ramifications of the verdict amid ongoing negotiations with the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
The committee approved party president Barrister Gohar Khan's announcement that talks with the PML-N-led coalition would continue till the deadline set for a government response to the PTI's demands.
