Suffering political instability due to fraudulent polls: Imran Khan

Rawalpindi: Founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said: “We are suffering from political instability due to fraudulent elections”.

In an informal conversation with journalists in Adiala Jail, Imran Khan stated that terrorism is increasing in the country. The economy is the biggest challenge for the country.

The PTI founder added that earlier it was heard that the lowest investment has come in the country in 50 years, now it came to light that this year the lowest investment in history has come into the country. There is no national income, debts are increasing, and the country is going towards destruction.

He further said that there is a great risk of provincialism in the country. A protest was held in Punjab on Balochistan terrorism. In the light of the situation in Balochistan, we should try to take the Baloch together. PTI is the only party in the country present in all four provinces. We can unite people. Only political parties can bring people together. Those who are making these decisions do not care about the country.

Imran Khan also stated that the workers are angry over the postponement of the Islamabad rally. They are saying bad things and the differences in the party are not ending. There is no space in PTI for those who left the party at bad times. I know who left in bad times. There are very few people who left the party under duress during very difficult times.

Today the hearing of the 190 million pounds case against former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi has been adjourned till September 4 in the Accountability Court of Islamabad.

Accountability Court judge Nasir Javed Rana heard the reference of 190 million pounds in Adiala Jail Rawalpindi. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were brought before the court from jail. Defense lawyers Zaheer Abbas and Usman Gill appeared in the court while on behalf of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Prosecutor General Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi appeared in the court along with his team.

During the hearing, the defense lawyers questioned Umar Nadeem, the investigating officer of the 190 million pounds reference, which could not be completed. Bushra Bibi's lawyer Usman Gil filed a contempt of court petition after NAB did not respond to Bushra Bibi's plea for acquittal in the 190 million pounds reference.

In the petition, the position was adopted that NAB is avoiding to answer for eight hearings, and contempt of court action should be taken against NAB.

Later, the court adjourned the hearing of the 190 million pounds reference till September 4. At the next hearing, the lawyers will continue to cross-examine the investigation officer.
