Barrister Saif Rejects Govt’s Claim of Murad Saeed Hiding in KP CM House

Barrister Saif, a prominent political figure, has strongly rejected the government’s claims that Murad Saeed, a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is hiding in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister’s residence. In a statement, Barrister Saif labeled the allegation as “non-serious” and “baseless,” dismissing it as part of political propaganda designed to deflect attention from other pressing issues.

The government had previously suggested that Murad Saeed, who has been a subject of controversy and legal scrutiny, was allegedly taking refuge in the KP CM house to avoid arrest or legal proceedings. However, Barrister Saif rejected the claim, calling it unfounded and stating that such accusations were not worthy of serious consideration.

In his remarks, Saif emphasized that these types of baseless allegations are merely part of a political strategy aimed at discrediting PTI leaders and creating unnecessary tension. He further criticized the government for diverting attention from more critical matters and for attempting to undermine political opponents through false accusations.

Saif’s dismissal of the claim has sparked debate among political circles, with some supporting his stance as a response to what they see as an ongoing pattern of targeting opposition leaders, while others question the transparency of the government’s allegations.

The situation has heightened political tensions, with PTI leadership rallying behind Murad Saeed, denying any involvement in such claims. As the political discourse intensifies, both the government and the opposition continue to trade accusations, fueling an already heated political environment.

Rana Sanaullah Says Imran Khan Can Be Released If He Fully Apologizes for May 9

Senior PML-N leader and former interior minister Rana Sanaullah has stated that PTI founder Imran Khan could be released if he offers a full and unconditional apology for the events of May 9. Speaking to the media, Sanaullah emphasized that the government has no personal vendetta against Khan but insisted that accountability for the violent protests and attacks on military installations must be ensured. He argued that a genuine apology and acceptance of responsibility could pave the way for legal relief.

The statement has sparked a strong reaction from PTI leaders, who maintain that the cases against Imran Khan are politically motivated. Meanwhile, legal experts believe that any decision regarding his release would ultimately depend on the courts rather than political negotiations. The May 9 incidents, which saw widespread protests following Khan’s arrest, led to mass detentions, legal actions against PTI leaders, and a crackdown on the party. Rana Sanaullah’s remarks suggest that the government may be open to a political settlement if Imran Khan agrees to acknowledge his party’s role in the events.
