Islamabad: Is the life of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan really in danger from the army, does the Pakistani army want to kill him, is the claim of the killing of Imran Khan by the Pakistani army, which the former Prime Minister himself had made, going to come true? … After all, due to what apprehension has Imran Khan become very afraid of the Pakistani army and why has he suddenly knocked the door of the court. Let us tell you that the Pakistani army wants to take Imran Khan into custody in the May 9 violence case. During this, the former Prime Minister has said that his life is in danger. Therefore, Imran has filed a petition in view of the possibility of handing himself over to military custody in the cases of May 9 violence.
This information was received from a media report. The petition argues that the prisoners involved in the incidents should remain under the jurisdiction of civilian courts. This petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court by Khan’s lawyer Uzair Karamat. According to the news of the ‘Express Tribune’ newspaper, the federal government and the Inspectors General (IGs) of all four provinces have been made respondents in the case. Khan (71), the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, said that a false story has been fabricated accusing him of instigating protests at the General Headquarters (GHQ). He described the May 9 incident as a “propaganda campaign” and said that those who stole CCTV footage of the incidents are the real culprits.
Imran made this request to the court
Imran criticized the comparison of the May 9 incident with the protest at the US Parliament complex on January 6, 2021 and highlighted that a thorough and transparent investigation was conducted in the case, resulting in punishment only for the persons involved, while (former US President) Donald Trump’s entire Republican Party was not involved in it. The former Prime Minister urged the court to ensure that the custody in the May 9 cases remains with civilian courts and a stay order be issued to prevent them from being handed over to military authorities. Khan had on Monday expressed concern that he and his wife Bushra Bibi could be sent to military jail in connection with the May 9 violence cases.
“They are going to send me to military jail for the May 9 incidents,” he said while talking to the media during the hearing of the Al-Qadir Trust case in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. Khan lamented the “biased treatment” being meted out to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf activists lodged in military jails and claimed that there were plans to incarcerate him under similar charges. He was booked for inciting people to attack Lahore Corps Commander House (known as Jinnah House), Askari Tower and Shadman police station on May 9, 2023.
