Imran Khan gets bail in treason, vandalism cases

Imran Khan gets bail in treason, vandalism cases. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been granted bail by a court in Islamabad in treason and vandalism cases.

The former prime minister faces treason charges in one of the cases and charges of vandalism in ten other cases — all of them were registered during the PTI’s long march on Islamabad on May 25.

The PTI chairman appeared before sessions judge Kamran Basharat Mufti.

In ten vandalism cases, Imran Khan won bail on surety bonds of Rs5,000 each.

In the sedition case, he was granted bail until the first week of September. The court has also summoned Islamabad’s Kohsar police with relevant records.

On May 25, Imran Khan marched from Peshawar to Islamabad with his supporters to reach the D-Chowk.

During the march, several trees and vehicles were set on fire.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday warned of revealing the elements involved in the alleged “foreign conspiracy”, saying that it would harm national interests.

Addressing a press conference in the federal capital, the former prime minister said that he has recorded a video which involves information about those who have committed “treason” against the country.

“I am quiet for the sake of my country as I don’t want it to be harmed,” said Khan, adding that the video will be released as soon as something happens to him.

Khan was ousted through a vote of no-confidence back in April, which he claims to be a “foreign conspiracy” by the United States and the then opposition.

“Cases of corruption have been registered against the party leaders to shut them up. This country is moving towards fascism and anarchy,” said the ex-premier. “The coalition government will accept Israel as a state, it will provide Pakistan’s bases to the United States, and it will discard the Kashmiri people to establish better relations with India.”
