Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf news

 ISLAMABAD: The fate of the incarcerated founding chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) became the focus of interest on Tuesday evening after he approached the high court over an apprehension of court martial.


The former prime minister expressed fears of his court martial in connection with May 9 cases on the basis of FIRs registered against him in Rawalpindi and filed a petition before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against his possible trial in a military court.

In his petition, Mr Khan referred to the recent arrest of former spymaster retired Lt Gen Faiz Hameed. “A few weeks ago, a retired senior army officer was taken into military custody. It has been widely speculated and reported in the media that he will be made an approver against the petitioner in cases pertaining to May 9 and 10, 2023 and the petitioner will be transferred to military custody on this basis.”

The former premier further stated that his apprehensions had been given credence inter alia by a statement made by federal government’s spokesman for legal affairs, Barrister Aqeel Malik, on a TV show on Aug 23. The petitioner could absolutely be tried in a military court, and that the provisions of the Pakistan Army Act, 1952, were applicable to him, the legal wizard had stated.

Ahead of Monday's anniversary of his jailing on dozens of charges ranging from corruption to leaking state secrets, Khan also said in written responses to Reuters questions that he held no grudges against the United States, whom he has also blamed for his 2022 ouster from office. Given Pakistan's geographical position and the military's significant role in the private sector, it would be foolish not to foster such a relationship," Imran Khan wrote in replies relayed by his media and legal team. "We are proud of our soldiers and armed forces," he said. Imran Khan said his criticisms since his ouster ...

Fearing for their security, they sought additional protection for their homes.   One of the judg...
