ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has claimed that verdicts in the cases against him are âpre-writtenâ and designed to follow a set script rather than the law.
In a statement shared through his official account, Khan said he had been repeatedly offered dealsâtold to either leave the country or remain silent in exchange for the withdrawal of cases.
âFrom the very first day, my stance has been clear: I will face these cases in court and not seek relief through any deal,â he said, adding that he was wrongly implicated in over 300 cases.
Khan maintained his innocence, declaring the Toshakhana case âcompletely collapsedâ after prosecution witnesses Brigadier Ahmed and Colonel Rehan admitted in court that the gifts in question were deposited in the Toshakhana, not taken to his residence, and that all records were complete.
He argued that this case should be dismissed immediately and that his wife, Bushra Bibi, deserves bail, as the only charge against her is a âfalse allegation of aiding and abetting.â
Khan accused the judiciary of operating under âa pre-written scriptâ rather than the law. He alleged that the sequence of events was predetermined: âFirst, there will be a conviction in the Toshakhana case, followed by a bail decision in the Al-Qadir case.â
His sister, Aleema Khan, speaking to reporters outside Adiala Jail on Wednesday, reinforced his claims. She quoted Imran as saying that hearings in his cases were being deliberately delayed and that pressure was exerted on him from the start to leave Pakistan.
âBut he chose to face all cases,â she said, further alleging irregularities in the jail trial and insisting that a key witness had been proven false. She too demanded immediate bail for Bushra Bibi, calling the charges politically motivated. Aleema also conveyed Imranâs sorrow over the martyrdom of youth in Tirah.
Meanwhile, PTI Secretary General Barrister Salman Akram Raja, after meeting Khan in jail, reiterated the party founderâs stance that sustainable peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the broader region requires dialogue among all stakeholders.
âKilling people and blowing up bombs will not bring peace,â Raja quoted Khan as saying, adding that the PTI founder had sent messages to Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on the matter.
Separately, on the 95th Independence Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, PTI extended felicitations on behalf of its founder chairman to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the Saudi people.
In a statement issued by PTIâs Central Media Department, the party also lauded the recently concluded Strategic Defence Mutual Agreement (SDMA) between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
