Minister Claims Imran Khan Was Convicted in 190 Million Pound Bribery and Theft CaseMinister Claims Imran Khan Was Convicted in 190 Million Pound Bribery and Theft Case
Federal Minister for Information, Atta Tarar, stated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been sentenced for bribery and theft in the 190 million-pound case. He suggested that instead of indulging in violent protests, PTI members should focus on chanting “Owo Owo,” which he believes could resolve many issues.
In a press conference in Lahore on Saturday, Tarar emphasized that the 190 million-pound case was an “open and shut” case, with no legal loopholes left for defense. He described the court’s decision as one of the most significant in the country’s history.
Tarar further claimed that former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had cleared himself during investigations by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and had no legal argument or defense left. He also criticized PTI’s claim that they were being punished for following the principles of the Prophet’s life, asserting that the money in question was directed to a trust linked to Imran Khan, and that children in the institution were watching cartoons rather than focusing on the issue at hand. “Please keep religion separate from politics,” he said.
He also refuted claims by PTI leaders that they were being punished for their love of religion, stating that political actions should not involve invoking religion. Tarar recalled that Jahangir Tareen and his associates had visited Madinah, where they misbehaved, and that the corruption and theft charges against them were now globally known.
The Information Minister also clarified that negotiations with PTI should not be confused with a “deal,” but were meant to bring political stability. He noted that PTI members were cordial behind the scenes and had supported the government on the 26th Amendment.
Tarar concluded by suggesting that PTI should focus on chanting “Owo Owo” rather than engaging in violence, stating that if they had done so during the incidents of May 9 and November 26, many of the current problems could have been avoided.
