“Imran Khan and Spouse Request Extension to Respond to 79 Court Queries”

Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have formally requested an extension from the court to respond to 79 queries in an ongoing case. The couple has sought more time to adequately prepare their responses, citing the complexity and volume of the questions posed.

The court had earlier issued a set of 79 questions related to a case involving allegations of corruption and misuse of power during Imran Khan’s tenure as prime minister. These queries are a part of the broader investigation into various financial matters, including the controversial Toshakhana case, in which Imran Khan is accused of misappropriating gifts and failing to disclose them as required by law.

In their request, the couple’s legal team emphasized that the questions are detailed and require a thorough review of financial records and other documents. They argued that the given timeframe was insufficient for the preparation of accurate responses, considering the complexity of the case.

The court is expected to consider the extension request and may grant more time for the responses. If granted, the couple will be allowed additional time to submit their detailed replies. This development comes amid ongoing legal challenges facing Imran Khan and his party, PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf), as they continue to defend themselves against multiple cases in the courts.

Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana Case

In a significant development, a court has issued arrest warrants for Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in connection with the ongoing Toshakhana case. The court took this step after Bushra Bibi repeatedly failed to appear for scheduled hearings, despite multiple summonses.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations that the former first lady unlawfully retained valuable gifts from foreign dignitaries without declaring them, a violation of government protocols. The court had earlier instructed Bushra Bibi to present herself for questioning, but her continued absence led to the issuance of arrest warrants.

Legal experts suggest that this action could further escalate the legal challenges facing the former ruling family. The arrest warrants have been issued in the context of mounting pressure on Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), as multiple members face legal scrutiny over corruption and other charges. The case remains a focal point in the political landscape, with critics accusing the government of political vendettas.

Rana Sanaullah Claims PTI Will Not Be Able to Organize Another Protest in Capital

Rana Sanaullah, the Interior Minister of Pakistan, has stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will not be able to organize another protest in Islamabad. He emphasized that the government is fully prepared to prevent any such attempts, citing strict measures to maintain order and ensure that public safety is not compromised.

The statement comes in the wake of recent political unrest and protests staged by PTI, which have significantly disrupted the capital. Sanaullah assured that the government would take all necessary steps to ensure peace, signaling a firm stance against any future protests by PTI in Islamabad.

PTI leaders, on the other hand, have rejected these claims, accusing the government of attempting to stifle democratic rights and suppressing peaceful protests. The situation has raised tensions in the political landscape, with both sides gearing up for a potentially contentious showdown.
