Islamabad: Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, said that it was a mistake of the judges to punish Nawaz Sharif on Iqama in the Panama case.

Talking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Aleema Khan stated that the letter of six judges has exposed many people. Unless the judges stand for justice, there will be no justice. Lawyers today should stand in solidarity with these judges.

Imran Khan’s sister added that the judge made a mistake in the Panama case. The case in which he sentenced Nawaz Sharif was Iqama, he was not punished in the original case. If there was a punishment in the original case, he would not be walking like this today.
