In a saga of political twists and turns, Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Imran Khan expressed that his deepest regret was trusting former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa while he was in power.
Also, On Thursday, a court in Pakistan declared former Prime Minister Imran Khan innocent in two cases linked to the violence on May 9. The court stated there wasn’t enough proof against him.
Imran Khan’s Allegations Against General Bajwa:
Imran Khan, currently incarcerated, has made startling accusations against former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, alleging betrayal and conspiracy. Expressing deep regret over his trust in Bajwa during his time in power, Khan blames the former army chief for orchestrating his imprisonment.
In a report by Dawn, Khan laments his sole regret, stating, “My only regret is trusting General Bajwa,” accusing him of fabricating falsehoods to secure his extension as military head.
The allegations leveled by Khan against Bajwa are not mere assertions but detailed accusations of a meticulously planned conspiracy.
Khan insists that his ordeal, including imprisonment, was masterminded by Bajwa, holding him solely responsible for the chaos that ensued.
According to Khan, Bajwa strategically crafted lies and false narratives to create national and international turmoil, all to further his personal agenda of securing an extension in his military role.
Imran Khan’s Legal Triumph:
Amidst the storm of allegations and controversy, Imran Khan has emerged victorious in the legal arena, with two cases related to May 9 violence resulting in his acquittal.
The cases, stemming from vandalism and unrest following Khan’s arrest in an alleged corruption case, saw him absolved of charges due to “insufficient evidence” presented by the prosecution.
The court’s verdict, delivered by Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabbir of the District and Sessions Court of Islamabad, cleared Khan of wrongdoing in the two cases, citing a lack of substantial evidence.
This legal triumph follows Khan’s earlier acquittal in two cases linked to the May 9 vandalism, underscoring a pattern of judicial decisions favoring the PTI founder.
Despite these legal victories, Khan remains incarcerated in the high-security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, along with several PTI leaders facing allegations related to the violence following his arrest.
The tumultuous aftermath of Khan’s imprisonment saw widespread unrest, with his followers and party members engaging in acts of vandalism targeting military installations and government buildings.
In a display of defiance and support for their leader, Khan’s supporters unleashed chaos across the country, targeting sensitive army installations and government buildings.
From Lahore’s Jinnah House to Faisalabad’s ISI building, and even the Army headquarters in Rawalpindi, the wave of unrest highlighted the fervent loyalty of Khan’s followers amidst the political turmoil gripping Pakistan.
The saga of Imran Khan’s tenure as Pakistan’s Prime Minister and his subsequent imprisonment unfolds as a tale of political intrigue and legal battles.
With accusations of betrayal against former military leadership and legal triumphs amidst allegations of violence, Khan’s journey reflects the complexities and challenges inherent in Pakistani politics.
As Khan continues to grapple with the fallout of his imprisonment and navigate the intricacies of the legal system, the future of the PTI founder remains uncertain.
However, one thing is clear amidst the tumultuous landscape of Pakistani politics: the story of Imran Khan is far from over, with each twist and turn shaping the destiny of a nation in transition.
