Pakistan's Supreme Court grants bail to Imran Khan for May 9 violence cases. While lauded by PTI supporters, he remains imprisoned due to the Al-Qadir Trust case. Khan's ongoing legal troubles continue amidst these recent developments.

Pakistan SC Grants Bail to Imran Khan in May 9 Violence Cases

Pakistan's Supreme Court grants former PM Imran Khan bail in violence cases, but he remains in jail due to Al-Qadir Trust case. The decision highlights ongoing legal challenges since his 2022 removal.

Imran Khan Secures Supreme Court Bail

Pakistan&rsquo;s Supreme Court granted bail to former Prime Minister Imran Khan in eight cases related to the May 9, 2023 violence.

Pakistan&rsquo;s Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan in eight cases related to the May 9 violence.
Khan&rsquo;s supporters resorted to vandalism and violence on May 9, 2023, after he was detained by law enforcement authorities in Islamabad.
Several cases were launched against Khan and leaders of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party for their alleged role in the riots.
A three-member bench of the apex court granted Khan bail after hearing the arguments by his lawyer Salman Safdar, and Punjab Special Prosecutor Zulfiqar Naqvi, who represented the state.
The bench was led by Chief Justice Afridi and comprised Justices Shafi Siddiqui and Miangul Aurangzeb.
Khan&rsquo;s PTI hailed the ruling, using the hashtag &ldquo;Victory For Imran Khan&rdquo; in its post on X, while his international spokesman Zulfiqar Bukhari said the party supremo now needed bail in just one case.
&ldquo;Supreme Court has granted bail to Imran Khan for May 9th cases, now bail is needed for just one more case (Al Qadir case) for Mr Khan to come out of jail,&rdquo; he said.
As Bukhari said, Khan would not be released despite the latest relief due to his conviction in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
Khan, 72, had filed a petition for bail in a Lahore anti-terrorism court in the cases related to the May 9 riots, including an attack on the house of the Lahore corps commander, but it was rejected in November 2024.
He challenged it in the Lahore High Court (LHC), but it also rejected the plea on June 24 this year. Following this, Khan challenged the dismissal of the bail plea before the top court.
The former premier has been facing multiple other cases filed against him after his removal from office in April 2022.
He has been imprisoned since August 2023 and is currently serving a sentence at Rawalpindi's high-security Adiala Jail in the 190 million pounds Al-Qadir graft case.

Despite imprisonment, Imran Khan rallies supporters against Pakistan's current 'hybrid regime,' urging protest post-Ashura. He criticizes military and judiciary, alleging attempts to silence his voice.

Imran Khan refuses to accept political slavery

Imprisoned ex-PM Imran Khan urges PTI supporters to resist the current 'hybrid regime' after Ashura. He criticizes Pakistan's judiciary and military leadership, claiming efforts to silence him are underway.

Imran Khan, in prison, rallies supporters to resist the current regime, urging protests after Ashura. He criticizes the judicial system and Pakistan's military leadership.

Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has said he will prefer to live in the dark cell of a prison, instead of accepting slavery, as he urged his supporters to stage protests against the hybrid regime.
Khan called on the workers of his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to stage an uprising against the current regime after Ashura, the 10th day of mourning in Moharram to commemorate the 7th-century martyrdom of the Prophet's grandson, Imam Hussein, which falls on July 6 this year.
"To the entire nation, especially PTI workers and supporters, I urge them to rise against this tyrannical system after Ashura," Khan posted on X on Tuesday.
"I would rather live in a dark prison cell than accept this slavery," added Khan, who has been in jail for nearly two years in multiple cases.
Khan said that his voice is being silenced through every possible means so that his message does not reach the people.
Commenting on Army Chief Asim Munir, Khan said, "When a dictator comes to power, he doesn&rsquo;t need votes - he rules through brute force." Calling the judiciary in the country &nbsp;a "sub-department of the executive", Khan said that "courts are filled with hand-picked judges, while independent judges are rendered powerless." "This only happens under martial law," he said while pointing out that freedom of speech has been completely crushed in the country, and independent journalists are being targeted.
Khan is booked in several cases in Lahore in connection with the May 9, 2023, violence, including for allegedly inciting his supporters to attack government and military buildings, which erupted after his arrest by paramilitary Rangers from the Islamabad High Court premises.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's CM Gandapur vows assembly dissolution on Imran Khan's command, highlighting political tensions and challenges in accessing Khan.

Gandapur Ready to Dissolve KP Assembly for Imran Khan

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Gandapur is set to dissolve the assembly on Imran Khan's command, sparking political tensions and highlighting criticism of Punjab's governance.

KP Assembly Dissolution Gamble for Imran Khan

Chief Minister Gandapur pledges to dissolve Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's assembly on Imran Khan's command, while criticizing Punjab's leadership for restricting meetings with Khan.

Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Thursday reiterated that he would dissolve the provincial assembly whenever his party&rsquo;s founder, Imran Khan, instructed him to do so.
The chief minister made these remarks while speaking to the media outside Rawalpindi&rsquo;s Adiala Jail, where the 72-year-old former prime minister is lodged.
Khan is the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party to which Gandapur belongs.
The cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August 2023 after he was booked in multiple cases.
Replying to another question, Gandapur said that the provincial budget was approved to avert a constitutional crisis.
He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province would make decisions based on its own interests and would not participate in any finance committee meetings.
The chief minister again claimed that they were denied access to Khan, calling it a violation of their constitutional right. He added that he would be going to the Supreme Court on Friday on Khan's directive.
Gandapur criticised the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) government in Punjab, questioning Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz about the denial of meetings with Khan and the alleged suppression of dissent.
"If you are not in power, then tell me who is," he said. He further alleged that law and order were being trampled, institutions were engaged in wrongdoing, and the judiciary was not independent.
The chief minister said that the party's list for meeting Khan was submitted according to court orders, but they were still being prevented, &ldquo;as if they were terrorists&rdquo;.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province&rsquo;s Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on Tuesday strongly criticised Gandapur for threatening to dissolve the government, terming it as treason.
Gandapur on Monday alleged that the federal government is conspiring to impose an emergency in the province and said that he would dissolve the government immediately if former prime minister Imran Khan orders.
Kundi warned that any threat to dissolve the assembly would be tantamount to "rebellion against the Constitution".&nbsp;

Imran Khan faces legal charges over a Lahore incident causing significant damage. His bail application was delayed, with hearings rescheduled.

Legal Battles of Imran Khan Over Lahore Incident

Former PM, Imran Khan, faces legal challenges due to an alleged incident in Lahore. Accusations include inciting violence, with court hearings postponed.

Imran Khan faces charges over an alleged Lahore incident causing PKR 520 million damage. His bail application was not granted, pending further hearings.

Pakistani police have accused incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan and his party members of causing a loss of over PKR 500 million to the state during an attack on a senior army officer's residence in Lahore two years ago, an official said on Wednesday.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder is booked in several cases in Lahore in connection with the May 9, 2023, violence, including for allegedly inciting his supporters to attack government and military buildings, which erupted after his arrest by paramilitary Rangers from the Islamabad High Court premises.
"A prosecutor in the May 9, 2023, riot cases against Mr Khan and some other members of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) told the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday that the state has suffered a PKR 520 million loss during an attack on the Lahore Corps Commander House," the court official said.
The prosecutor was giving arguments regarding post-arrest bail petitions of Imran Khan in eight cases of the May 9 riots.
Lahore's anti-terrorism court in November last year had denied bail to the PTI founder in these eight cases.
"The prosecutor argued that Imran Khan ignored the trial court&rsquo;s directions and refused to undergo polygraph and photogrammetric tests, therefore, his bail petitions should be dismissed for defying the trial court&rsquo;s orders," he said.
The prosecutor said those who abetted the crime were equally liable to punishment, and since being ousted from power, Khan had been inciting the public against state institutions, including the armed forces.
Khan's counsel, Barrister Salman Safdar, told the LHC that the prosecution failed to establish the petitioner's association with the "unfortunate occurrences" narrated in the FIRs.
"Imran Khan has been implicated in the May 9 cases as a result of a well-orchestrated plan merely to harass and humiliate him for political reasons, even though admittedly he was in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau at the time of riots," Safdar said and argued that the sole allegation against the petitioner in the cases is of "abetment, which has been supplemented by the prosecution most vaguely".
"The trial judge overlooked the fact that frivolous and baseless allegations related to the May 9 events have already been rejected due to inconsistencies in the story of the investigating agency," Khan's counsel said and urged the LHC to set aside the trial court's decision and grant bail to the former premier in these eight cases.
LHC Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi remarked that the court "doesn't want to rush into a judgment" and adjourned the hearing for June 19.
The 72-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August 2023 after he was booked in multiple cases ranging from corruption to terrorism since his ouster from power via the opposition's no-trust motion in April 2022.

Seeking Imran Khan's release, a petition cites drone attack fears amid escalating Indo-Pak tensions post-Pahalgam attack, urging parole to ensure national security.

Imran Khan's release sought amid Indo-Pak tensions

A petition seeks Imran Khan's release from jail amid drone attack fears, citing rising tensions with India and the Pahalgam attack aftermath, to enhance national security.

A petition was filed in a Pakistani court on Friday for the release of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan due to the fear of a drone attack on the prison where he is kept, amidst tensions with India.
Khan&rsquo;s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf in a WhatsApp message said that the party's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur approached the Islamabad High Court for the release of the party founder. Khan, 72, has been incarcerated in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, the garrison city.
&ldquo;The Islamabad High Court has been approached for the release of Imran Khan. An application has been filed by Chief Minister KP Ali Amin,&rdquo; it stated.
&ldquo;It has been requested that in view of the current war situation with India, for national harmony and solidarity, and due to the fear of a drone attack in Adiala Jail, he be immediately released on parole/probation.&rdquo; The court has not set any date for the hearing of the plea.
Ties between India and Pakistan plummeted following the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Indian armed forces early Wednesday carried out precise missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan under &lsquo;Operation Sindoor&rsquo; in a strong response to the terror attack in Pahalgam.&nbsp;

Imran Khan, former Pakistani PM, opposes renaming Peshawar's Arbab Niaz Stadium after him, advocating to retain its original name, as conveyed by Aleema Khan.

Imran Khan Opposes Stadium Renaming Move

Imran Khan opposes renaming Peshawar Stadium after him amid controversy

Imran Khan, former Pakistani PM, opposes renaming Peshawar's Arbab Niaz Stadium after him, advocating to retain its original name, as conveyed by Aleema Khan.

Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan disapproved the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government's decision to rename Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium after the cricketer-turned-politician's name, his sister said on Tuesday.
Aleema Khan, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party founder's sister, told the media after meeting her brother in jail that Khan, 72, did not like the provincial government's decision to rename the cricket stadium in Peshawar after him.
"I don't like anything to be named after me. So the stadium's name should be reverted to the original," Khan told Aleema.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been convicted in a landmark corruption case. 

Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan sentenced to 14 years in graft case

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been convicted in a landmark corruption case.&nbsp;

A Pakistan court on Friday convicted former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in a landmark graft case, sentencing Khan to 14 years in prison.
Khan has been held in custody since August 2023 charged with around 200 cases but his party claim the latest conviction was being used to pressure him into silence.
"I will neither make any deal nor seek any relief," Khan told reporters inside the court room after his conviction.
The anti-graft court convened in the jail near the capital Islamabad where Khan is being held, and convicted him along with his wife over a welfare foundation they established together called the Al-Qadir Trust.
"The prosecution has proven its case. Khan is convicted," said Judge Nasir Javed Rana, announcing a 14 year sentence for Khan and seven years for Bibi.
Faith healer Bibi, who was recently released on bail, was arrested at the court after the conviction, her spokeswoman Mashal Yousafzai.
Khan maintains the cases are politically motivated and designed to keep him from returning to power.
The sentence has been delayed several times over the past month, with analysts saying the jail term was being used to pressure Khan into accepting a deal with the military to step back from politics.
Since being ousted from power in 2022, Khan has launched an unprecedented campaign in which he has openly criticised the country's powerful generals.
Khan has been previously handed four convictions, two of which have been overturned while the sentences in the other two cases were suspended.
But he remained in prison over pending cases.
A UN panel of experts found last year that Khan's detention "had no legal basis and appears to have been intended to disqualify him from running for political office".
Khan was barred from standing in February's election and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party were hamstrung by a widespread crackdown.
PTI won more seats than any other party in the poll, but a coalition of parties considered more pliable to the influence of the military establishment shut them out of power.

'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' turns 16: Imran Khan, Genelia D' Souza, and gang sing the film's song I Watch

<h2>'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' celebrates its 16th anniversary with a beautiful tribute from Aamir Khan Productions as the whole cast comes together to sing the film's title track.</h2>

'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na', which marked the Bollywood debut of Imran Khan, was released in cinemas sixteen years ago, on July 4. The film has since become a beloved cult classic that resonates with audiences till date.
To commemorate its 16th anniversary, the production house released a video featuring cast singing the film's song, evoking nostalgia for fans.
The official social media handles of Aamir Khan Productions, which produced the film, shared a special video with the caption,'16 years and we are still singing this song for everyone we love (red heart emoji).'
The film's primary cast sings the song 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' in the video. It seems like they've all sung the song separately in different spaces, which has been put togther as a coherent whole.
Imran, known as Jai, leads the video, reclining on a beach in a white t-shirt under a red-and-blue shirt. Genelia D'Souza, as Aditi, follows in an olive green jacket over a black top, with silver hoops and her hair tied back.
Manjari Fadnis, playing Meghna, appears next, seated in a room wering a yellow dress. While Imran,Genelia, and Manjari have been seen regularly since the film's release, the unexpected appearance of the other three gang member adds a delightful surprise.
Jiggy, aka Nirav Mehta, joins in singing with a fresh appearance,wearing an olive-green shirt, a white hat, and long hair, set against a backdrop of palm trees. Bombs, aka Alishka Varde, appears transformed in a grey sleeveless top with coordinating earrings and nose rings. The most surprising transformation comes from Rotlu, aka Karan Makhija, seen in a maroon T-shirt with a bald head. Sugandha Mishra also makes an appearance in a blue top.
In the film's climax at the airport, CSF inspector(Murli Sharma) arrives after the gang finishes singing the song. With a smile, he warns Imran's Jai,' Sing this song again next time, and I'll shoot you,' recalling his memorable dialogue to Jai when he proposed to Aditi (Genelia).

Imran Khan slams Nawaz: PTI ready to talk with Pakistan army, rules out 'deal' 

Imran Khan slams Nawaz: PTI ready to talk with Pakistan army, rules out 'deal'&nbsp;

Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has said that he is ready to hold talks but not to strike a "deal" with anyone who has stolen his party's mandate in the February 8 general election.
Talking to journalists at the high-security Adiala jail in Rawalpindi on Friday, the 71-year-old Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf founder asserted that negotiations were held only with adversaries and therefore the talks should be held with those who were the biggest opponents of PTI at present, apparently a reference to the military establishment, the Dawn newspaper reported on Saturday.
Underlining that he had been saying for 18 months that he was ready to hold negotiations but not to strike a deal, Khan reiterated that his party would hold talks with everyone but the three parties, the Geo News reported.
"Someone who wants to leave the country or avoid imprisonment makes a deal," he said, in an apparent reference to PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif.
Khan named Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub and Leader of the Opposition in Senate Shibli Faraz for holding negotiations.
&ldquo;I have proposed these three names for talks and not for a deal," he said.
The February 8 general elections delivered a fractured mandate. Independent candidates, a majority of them backed by Khan's PTI, won 93 seats in the 336-member National Assembly. Former three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif&rsquo;s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) won 75 seats while the Bilawal Zardari Bhutto-led Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) came third with 54 seats. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) won 17 seats.
Khan&rsquo;s PTI party has maintained that the powerful establishment had favoured Sharif&rsquo;s PML-N and that the Election Commission of Pakistan deliberately used a different form to declare the results to &ldquo;steal the mandate&rdquo; that belonged to it.
The PML-N struck a post-poll deal with Bhutto&rsquo;s PPP and four smaller parties and formed the government in March.
Khan reiterated that he was &ldquo;always ready for talks, but it could only take place when their stolen mandate was returned and innocent imprisoned workers were released,&rdquo; the Dawn newspaper quoted PTI&rsquo;s media department as saying on Friday.
Without naming anyone, Khan told reporters that "they" were going to lodge the fourth case against him concerning the Toshakhana gifts. They should make whatever the cases they wanted all at once, he added.
Khan's statement came a day after PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan claimed that his party was neither holding dialogues with anyone nor had any special message for talks.
Gohar, speaking to journalists outside Rawalpindi&rsquo;s Adiala Jail, said that the former premier was facing "politically motivated" cases. He added that the PTI founder requested the judiciary to give judgements on his cases at the earliest, the Geo News reported.
&ldquo;Ali Amin Gandapur, Omar Ayub Khan and Shibli Faraz have been given the go-ahead to hold talks, but not to strike a deal,&rdquo; Gohar said, adding that they were to talk to anyone except three political parties.

Imran Khan set to return in a comedy film produced by Aamir Khan; says report | More details here

<h2>A source said that Imran Khan will star in and as Happy Patel in a quirky comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. Shooting for the film has reportedly already commenced in Goa.</h2>

Imran Khan is set to make a Bollywood comeback after a nine-year hiatus. According to a report from Peepingmoon.com, Imran is entering a new chapter in his professional journey with the support of his maternal uncle and mentor, Aamir Khan. Aamir played a crucial role in Imran's early career, introducing him to audiences as a child actor in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' in 1988, and later as a leading man in 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' in 2008.
The report mentioned that he will star in &lsquo;Happy Patel&rsquo; which will be Vir Das's directorial debut. Imran and Vir previously starred together in &lsquo;Delhi Belly,&rsquo; which was also produced by Aamir Khan.
A source said: &lsquo;Imran has finally locked in his comeback project, nearly eight months after he hinted at the possibility of returning to movies last year. He will star in and as Happy Patel in a quirky comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film is a laugh-riot and is set in a familiar yet uniquely fresh world, reminiscent of Imran's previous works. Shooting has already commenced in Goa.&rsquo;
Imran was set to make his comeback with a spy series on Disney+ Hotstar, playing an intelligence officer. The series, helmed by Abbas Tyrewala, was scrapped after Hotstar's Jio takeover last year. In a recent Film Companion interview, Imran expressed relief, stating, &lsquo;I don't want to play a character who solves problems with a gun.&rsquo;
<h3>About Imran Khan</h3>
Imran Khan, Aamir Khan's nephew, began his onscreen journey by portraying the young version of Aamir's characters in Mansoor Khan's 1988 romantic film &lsquo;Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak&rsquo; and his 1992 rom-com &lsquo;Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.&rsquo; Imran's leading role debut came in &lsquo;Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na&rsquo; alongside Genelia D'Souza. His last film appearance was in &lsquo;Katti Batti&rsquo; with Kangana Ranaut, released in 2015.

Imran Khan 'glad' his spy thriller is shelved: 'Don't want to solve problems with a gun' 

<h2>Imran Khan is relieved that his comeback project may be shelved forever. Khan recently expressed that the ongoing trend of glorification of violence in cinema bothers him.&nbsp;</h2>

Actor Imran Khan is happy that his comeback project has been delayed indefinitely and may not resurrect ever. The actor was expected to star in Abbas Tyrewala&rsquo;s spy thriller. However, the project has been put on the back burner, with chances of being shelved forever. Khan whose potential comeback has been the talk of the town for quite some time nnow, recently confessed that he is actually glad that the project might not release.
Speaking to Film Companion, Imran Khan shared details about the project and said, &ldquo;We started talking about it in July of last year. Abbas Tyrewala called me up out of the blue. I was in San Francisco for a holiday, and he told me that he had written this amazing thing. It was a cool story, and he asked me to do it together. The project was in early development at Hotstar. This was before the acquisition. In the latter part of last year, Hotstar got amalgamated with Jio, and somewhere within all of this, that project felt wayside.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;All things said and done, that thing fell into limbo, and it doesn&rsquo;t look like it will be resurrected. I am glad that that thing ended up not coming together.&rdquo; Reasoning it out, he said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to play a character who solves problems with a gun.&rdquo;
 Imran expressed dismay over violence being celebrated in cinema, not just in India but globally. He said, "I have a sense of where cinema is going globally. There is a glamorization, fetishization, and sexualization of violence that makes me uncomfortable. I have grown up watching action films. My heroes were Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Indiana Jones. But there is a way to portray violence, and this is not a moral thing. Violence and action are a language within cinema, but when we communicate it and portray it in films, there is a way to do it where you feel the weight of it."
Khan added, &ldquo;We have started making films where heroes will just go in and go boom and boom. They make it cool and sexy, and that makes me uncomfortable.&rdquo;
 Imran Khan is known for his performances in romantic comedies like 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na', 'Gori Tere Pyar Mein', and 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', among others. He was last seen in 'Katti Batti'.&nbsp;

Has Pakistan army abducted Imran Khan's nephew to pressurize him? 

Over 100 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders and workers have been in the Army's custody facing military trials for their alleged involvement in attacking key military installations

Pakistan&rsquo;s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's party on Saturday alleged that his nephew Hassan Niazi has been "abducted" from military custody and shifted to an undisclosed location to put pressure on him.
The development comes days after Khan, 71, alleged that the Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir was directly responsible for the imprisonment of his wife Bushra Bibi.
Over 100 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers have been in the Army's custody facing military trials for their alleged involvement in attacking key military installations in May last year following the arrest of Imran Khan in a corruption case.
Khan, the founder of PTI, is facing more than 100 cases and has been lodged at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for over eight months now.
"We strongly condemn the abduction of Imran Khan's nephew Hassan Niazi and another young PTI leader Ibad Farooq from military captivity. We want the Supreme Court to ensure their immediate release and hold kidnappers accountable," PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan said in a statement.
The spokesperson voiced great concerns over the shifting of both PTI leaders Hassan to an unknown place and said that around 100 innocent citizens have been kept in illegal military custody under the guise of a "May 9 false flag operation", who were being subjected to political revenge.
"The inhuman treatment being meted out with the young PTI leaders is purely political because they have been facing the worst state oppression and brutality courageously for the last 10 months," he said.
He said that the abduction of Niazi and Farooq was an open attack on the sanctity of law and justice and a violation of basic human and constitutional rights. "The trial of civilians under military laws is unconstitutional." The spokesperson further said it is shameful and condemnable to target Khan's nephew Hassan Niazi as political revenge to put pressure on the unlawfully incarcerated PTI founding leader.
He went on to say that coercive and shameful tactics are being used against Ibad Farooq to punish his brother for contesting by-elections and to keep him away from the electoral process.
The spokesperson demanded that the Supreme Court of Pakistan should take notice of the enforced disappearance and abduction of Hasan Niazi and Ibad Farooq, and ensure their earliest recovery and hold the abductors accountable.
Earlier, Khan alleged that General Munir was directly involved in the sentence handed down to his wife Bushra Bibi.
"If anything happens to my wife, I will not spare Asim Munir; I will not spare Asim Munir as long as I am alive. I will expose his unconstitutional and illegal steps," he had threatened.&nbsp;

Bushra Bibi was convicted in a corruption case as well as in the case of illegal marriage with 71-year-old Khan and is currently held in detention. 

'Won't spare Asim Munir': Imran Khan accuses Pak Army chief of direct involvement in wife's imprisonment

Bushra Bibi was convicted in a corruption case as well as in the case of illegal marriage with 71-year-old Khan and is currently held in detention.&nbsp;

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder and jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday alleged that Army chief General Asim Munir was directly responsible for the imprisonment of his wife Bushra Bibi.
Bushra Bibi, 49, was convicted in a corruption case as well as in the case of illegal marriage with Khan, 71, and is currently held in detention at their Bani Gala residence in the suburbs of Islamabad.
The PTI leader in a conversation with journalists at Adiala Jail where he is currently incarcerated hurled allegations on the army chief, according to a long post uploaded on Khan's official X account.
&ldquo;General Asim Munir is directly involved in the sentence awarded to my wife,&rdquo; Khan said, adding that the judge who convicted her said that he was forced to make the decision.
&ldquo;If anything happens to my wife, I will not leave Asim Munir, I will not leave Asim Munir as long as I am alive. I will expose his unconstitutional and illegal steps,&rdquo; he threatened.
Khan said there was a law of the jungle in the country and all was being done by the &ldquo;king of the jungle&rdquo;. &ldquo;If the king of the jungle wants, all the cases of Nawaz Sharif are forgiven, and when he wants, we are punished in three cases in five days,&rdquo; he alleged.
Khan also said that the economy would stabilise not through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans but by investment. &ldquo;Due to the law of the jungle, there will be no investment in the country. It is good that Saudi Arabia is coming but investment will come once there is rule of law in the country,&rdquo; he said.
He also referred to the recent reported clash between police and army in Bahawalnagar area of Punjab and said that the &ldquo;police were thrashed&rdquo; by violating the law, but the IG (inspector general police) and Viceroy, who oppressed our people, apologised from those who had thrashed the police.
Khan said the Viceroy said after the incident that &ldquo;they (police) are our brothers&rdquo;. He went on to say that &ldquo;such treatment is done to slaves and not to brothers&rdquo; because those having power thrashed the police and also forced to apologise.
He also said that PTI was being stopped from contesting in the by-elections. &ldquo;At this time, standing in front of oppression is Jihad. Our workers have to protect each vote, guard the vote,&rdquo; the former premier said.
So far the army has not responded to the serious allegations.

Khan occupies two of the seven special cells available, while the remaining five are kept closed for security reasons.

Imran Khan's jail security costs Rs 12 lakh monthly: report

Khan occupies two of the seven special cells available, while the remaining five are kept closed for security reasons.

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan's jail security measures at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi are costing a hefty monthly bill of over Rs 1.2 million (12 lakhs), according to prison authorities.
According to the report submitted by the jail superintendent to the Lahore High Court (LHC), the specialised facilities provided to Khan, 71, within the prison premises include a separate CCTV camera system installed for Rs 500,000, distinct from the system overseeing the 7,000 other prisoners.
Khan's meals are prepared in a dedicated kitchen under the watchful eye of the assistant superintendent and are subject to inspection by a medical officer or deputy superintendent before being served, The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
A team of over six doctors from Holy Family Hospital is stationed to provide medical care to the former prime minister, with additional specialist teams conducting regular check-ups.
Khan occupies two of the seven special cells available, while the remaining five are kept closed for security reasons. Typically, 35 prisoners are accommodated in these cells.
Access to Khan's cell is tightly restricted, requiring permission for entry, and professionally trained personnel are assigned to ensure the security of his ward.
While Adiala Jail typically assigns one personnel for every ten prisoners, Khan's security detail comprises 15 personnel, including two security officers and three dedicated to his personal security.
Moreover, a designated area within the jail premises is allocated for Imran Khan's recreational walks, equipped with exercise machines and other amenities.
Strict regulations are enforced for visitors, and comprehensive security protocols are implemented during court proceedings.
The report reveals the collaborative efforts of jail police, Rangers, and district police in ensuring the security of Adiala Jail, including regular search operations and mock drills.
Additional police forces, Rangers, and elite personnel are deployed both within and around Adiala Jail to maintain a secure environment for Imran Khan and all inmates.

Pakistan army chief Gen Asim Munir 'poisoned' my wife Bushra Bibi: Imran Khan tells court

Pakistan army chief Gen Asim Munir 'poisoned' my wife Bushra Bibi: Imran Khan tells court

Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said his wife and former first lady Bushra Bibi was poisoned while incarcerated at his private residence here which was turned into a sub-jail, emphasising that the army chief should be held responsible if she is harmed.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader during the hearing of the 190 million pound Toshakhana corruption case in Adiala jail informed Judge Nasir Javed Rana that there had been an attempt to poison the former first lady and added that she had marks on her skin and tongue as a side effect of the "poisoning".
&ldquo;I know who is behind it," The Express Tribune newspaper quoted the 71-year-old PTI founder as saying.
Khan said that if any harm came to Bushra, the Pakistan Army chief (General Asim Munir) should be held responsible as members of an intelligence agency were controlling everything at his Bani Gala residence in Islamabad and Adiala jail in Rawalpindi.
Khan further urged the court to order 49-year-old Bushra's medical examination by Dr. Asim of Shaukat Khanum Hospital, adding that he and the party did not trust the doctor who examined her earlier.
He also urged to have an inquiry into the matter of Bushra&rsquo;s alleged poisoning.
Following the former premier&rsquo;s request, the court directed Khan to submit a detailed application about the former first lady's medical examination.
Talking to the media after the hearing, Bushra said rumours regarding her being an "American agent" were circulating in the party and that she was poisoned through a popular toilet cleaner.
She said "three drops" of a popular toilet cleaner were added to her food, claiming that a person's health deteriorates after a month of consumption.
"My eyes swell up, I feel pain and discomfort in my chest and stomach and food and water also taste bitter. Some suspicious substance was mixed in honey earlier and now the toilet cleaner was mixed in my food," claimed the former first lady.
"I was told by someone in jail about what was added to my food. I will not reveal any names," she said.
Bushra informed the court that she had been kept decently at the Bani Gala sub-jail but added that she was not allowed to open the windows for a while.
Earlier, PTI claimed Bushra was fed "poisonous food" during her incarceration, asserting that she had been in severe pain.
A PTI spokesperson expressing concerns regarding "serious threats" to Bushra Bibi's life while in detention said in a statement: "Bushra's health and life are being seriously endangered by the denial of her constitutional right to medical examination."The spokesperson further alleged that Bushra Bibi's family had been barred from visiting her, a move they deemed to be a violation of both the Constitution and jail regulations.
The statement asserted the restriction was part of a "deliberate plan" to cause harm to her.
Earlier in January, Khan and Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 14 years of jail in the Toshakhana corruption case about the illegal sale of state gifts which the former premier received during his term.
Toshakhana is a department under the cabinet division in Pakistan that stores gifts and other valuables received by officials. The officials must report all the gifts they receive to the department.
Khan was lodged in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi while Bushra Bibi was incarcerated at Khan's Bani Gala home after it was declared a sub-jail.
On Bushra Bibi&rsquo;s conviction, Khan&rsquo;s PTI party had said that she had no link to the case and her conviction was only an effort to further pressurise the former prime minister.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of PTI, Barrister Gohar Khan said the former First Lady of Pakistan, Bushra Bibi, is being politically victimised.
"She is being kept in isolation, there are serious concerns of her being poisoned. Chairman Imran Khan has expressed similar concerns regarding his wife&rsquo;s health. The powerful circles of the country will be held accountable for any misadventure," the party quoted him as saying in a post on X.
Since his removal from power in a no-confidence motion in April 2022, the cricketer-turned-politician has been convicted in at least four cases, including the cipher case.&nbsp;

Imran said, 'Lekha and I grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after I had been separated from Avantika.'

<h2>Imran said, 'Lekha and I grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after I had been separated from Avantika.'</h2>

Actor Imran Khan opened up about his divorce for the first time in a recent interview. The &lsquo;Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na&rsquo; actor confirmed he has separated from Avantika Malik and their divorce came through in 2019.&nbsp;
He disclosed he's now dating Lekha Washington and expressed frustration over the portrayal of his girlfriend as a 'homewrecker.' He clarified that he fell in love with Lekha post-divorce, during the lockdown.
&lsquo;The speculation that I&rsquo;m romantically involved with Lekha Washington is true. I&rsquo;m divorced and have been separated since February 2019,&rsquo; he told Vogue India.
He said, &lsquo;Lekha and I grew close during the lockdown, a year and a half after I had been separated from Avantika and almost a year after she had separated from her partner, not husband, as it has been widely reported.&rsquo;
Imran also addressed the rumours portraying Lekha as a &lsquo;homewrecker,&rsquo; labelling such narratives as &lsquo;misogynistic.&rsquo;
&lsquo;There&rsquo;s this narrative of Lekha being a homewrecker, which infuriates me, because not only is it misogynistic but it also takes away my agency as an individual,&rsquo; he said.
<h3>Who is Lekha Washington?</h3>
Lekha Washington, based in Mumbai, is not only an artist but has also ventured into acting, particularly in Telugu cinema.

Imran Khan's PTI-backed legislators announce alliance to form govt

PTI's candidate for the prime minister's post, Omer Ayub Khan, said the party would form a government in the centre and two provinces.

Reversing its earlier decision, jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's beleaguered Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Monday said that the party-backed 92 independent candidates, who won the February 8 elections, will join the rightwing Sunni Ittehad Council.
The party had earlier decided that its members elected to the National Assembly and the Punjab provincial assembly would join Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM), a Shia party. Those elected in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) would become part of Jamaati-e-Islami (JI), which is a hardline Sunni religious party.
The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) is an alliance of Islamic political and religious parties in the Muslim-majority country which represents followers of the school of Sunni Islam.
"Our candidates in the National Assembly, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies will join the Sunni Ittehad Council," Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan said while addressing a press conference along with leaders of the MWM and SIC.
"Our candidates have submitted their affidavits with us and with their consent today we are announcing that PTI-supported independents are joining the Sunni Ittehad Council,&rdquo; he said.
Khan's party, which could not directly take part in elections due to the non-allotment of the electoral symbol - cricket bat, wants its share of reserved seats for women and minorities by using the platform of other like-minded parties.
The winning independent candidates had to join a party within 3 days after the notification of the results of the February 8 elections.
Gohar also said the PTI made a "formal agreement" with the Sunni Ittehad Council and the same would be submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) with a request to allocate the reserved seats according to the party strength and under law.
"Therefore, to protect our reserved seats and provide the cover to our members, we have reached a formal agreement under which all our candidates have joined the party and we will present this documentation before the ECP,&rdquo; he said.
PTI's candidate for the prime minister's post, Omer Ayub Khan, said on the occasion that the decision to join a political party was taken to get the reserved seats.
"This is because the quota of reserved seats lies with political parties. Coming together with the Sunni Ittehad Council would increase the PTI&rsquo;s strength in the National Assembly,&rdquo; he said, adding the party would form a government in the centre and two provinces.
He said the priority of the party was to secure the release of incarcerated leaders like Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Parvez Elahi and others.
SIC chief Raza and MWM leader Abbas in their remarks pledged support to the PTI.
With the PTI's decision to join a party, which is registered with the ECP, the country moved a step forward to the convening of the National Assembly or the lower house, for its maiden session which should be held by February 29.
Though independent candidates backed by the party won the maximum number of seats in Parliament, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) - have announced that they will form a coalition government after the elections resulted in a hung Parliament.
The post-poll alliance by the PML-N and the PPP could mean that PTI will not be able to form the next federal government, prompting Khan's party to allege that the two rival parties were trying to steal the people's mandate with the help of the powerful establishment.
Khan's beleaguered party received a major boost on Saturday when a senior government official in charge of the election process in the garrison city of Rawalpindi alleged that rigging took place and dragged the Chief Election Commissioner and the Chief Justice into it.
Buoyed by the allegations of vote rigging, the PTI on Sunday demanded a judicial probe into the manipulation of the results of the elections.
Independent candidates - a majority backed by former prime minister Imran Khan's PTI party won 93 National Assembly seats in the election.
The PML-N won 75 seats while the PPP came third with 54 seats. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) has also agreed to support them with their 17 seats.
To form a government, a party must win 133 seats out of 265 contested seats in the 266-member Nationa&ldquo;Our first task will be to ensure the release of PTI founder Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi [after forming the government].&rdquo; SIC chief Sahibzada Hamid Raza told the media that the decision to forge an alliance with the PTI has been taken with the permission of incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan.
He said his party does not believe in the politics of hatred. &ldquo;All sects are standing with the PTI,&rdquo; he added.l Assembly.

Chants for 'Qaidi number 804' Imran Khan during PSL match

This comes in the aftermath of general elections in Pakistan in which Khan's party PTI-backed independent candidates bagged the highest number of seats but could not form the government.

Chants supporting jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan were raised during a T20 cricket match in Lahore.
The incident occurred during a Pakistan Super League match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Fans at the stadium were heard chanting 'Tera yaar mera yaar, qaidi number 804' which means "Your friend, my friend, prisoner number 804".
This was an apparent reference to Imran Khan. This comes in the aftermath of general elections in Pakistan in which Khan's party PTI-backed independent candidates bagged the highest number of seats but could not form the government.
While Khan remains in jail in multiple cases, his party has claimed rigging in elections.

Top cleric who called Imran Khan Israeli agent, now says Pakistan army 'toppled his govt' 

Disgruntled right-wing Pakistani cleric and politician Fazlur Rehman has accused the Pakistani military leaders of toppling the Imran Khan government in 2022.

&nbsp;A leading but disgruntled right-wing Pakistani politician has accused the top military leaders of toppling the government of Imran Khan in 2022.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) claimed during a Samaa TV talk show on Thursday night that the "former army chief Gen (rtd) Qamar Javed Bajwa toppled the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) government." Recalling the no-confidence motion against the PTI founder, Rehman said: "The PPP was moving the no-confidence motion against the PTI. Gen Bajwa and Faiz Hameed were in touch with us at the time of no-confidence motion." "Gen Bajwa, Faiz Hameed asked all parties to do this (bringing a vote of no-confidence motion),&rdquo; he claimed.
The channel reported on its website that Rahman told the host in response to a question: "Someone should stand up to the establishment and say it is doing wrong".
"The protest will continue until things are settled, as the establishment has nothing to do with politics. As a result of this protest, there will be a revolution," Rehman maintained.
Rehman said, "The state institutions are respectable, but why come into politics?" "If the establishment thinks that the elections were transparent, then the narrative in line with the May 9 mayhem is buried," Rehman added.
Speaking about talks with the PTI, Rehman said: "There is a difference of mind with the PTI that can be resolved." He also criticised the PML-N for announcing its plan to form a coalition government with the help of other parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party.
&ldquo;The present parliament has no future, as the decisions and policies in the parliament will come from somewhere else," he said.
Rehaman had traditionally been close to the establishment but has become weary after suffering a devastating defeat in the elections.
His opponents allege that being a seasoned politician, Rehman may be in search of some role in the future government by attacking the Army.
On February 10, 2022, Pakistan's then-Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted from power after losing a no-confidence vote in his leadership.
The vote was held after opposition parties brought a motion against him, following days of high drama.
The vote took place after the country's Supreme Court ruled in favour of opposition parties and said that 71-year-old Khan had acted unconstitutionally.
The vote made Khan the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no-confidence motion, with opposition parties securing 174 votes in the 342-member house in support of the no-confidence motion.
