    Pervez Khattak testifies against Khan in Al-Qadir trust case

    Former Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervez Khattak, testified against Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), in the Al-Qadir Trust case on Wednesday.

    The case alleges that Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi obtained billions of rupees and land worth hundreds of kanal from Bahria Town to legalise the amount through the federal cabinet.

    Before parting ways with the party, Khattak was a close aide of Khan and served as the defence minister of Pakistan, which he claimed had approved a confidential deed to transfer money to Malik Riaz.

    This is not the first time Khan’s former allies have testified against him in cases. His ex-secretary Azam Khan testified against him in the cipher case, while Aun Chaudhry recorded his statement in the Iddat case.

    Dawn News reported that Imran Khan usually does not move from his chair when witnesses record statements. But in yesterday’s hearing, Khan rose from his chair and approached the witness box to look at his former ally, who had now turned against him.

  • ‘Aik aadmi faislay kar raha hai iss mulk ke’: Imran Khan blames Army Chief for his arrest

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan— who is currently facing charges on multiple counts in various cases—has said that there is only one man who is deciding every matter.

    Without naming Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir, Imran said that one person fears that if he comes into power, his seat will be gone, however, he has no intention of doing that.

    According to the PTI chief, this one man has harmed the country more than any enemy did. “He is pushing the country towards disaster”, said Khan.

    Sitting inside the Islamabad High Court (IHC) as he waits for written orders, he thanked the judiciary for releasing him.

    He once again claimed that he didn’t know about the violent protests going on across the country as he was under arrest at the time.

    According to him, the attacks on Corps Commander House by protestors are not his fault because he was put in jail as a terrorist.

    He revealed that no deal with the government has taken place.

    Khan has been given relief as he can’t be arrested as per court orders till Monday morning.

    On Tuesday, the former PM was arrested from IHC by NAB authorities in the Al-Qadir case, however, two days later Supreme Court termed the arrest illegal.

    In March, after the Zaman Park operation episode took place, Khan accused the establishment of interfering in politics, emphasising that nothing happens in the country without the permission of COAS Munir.
