PTI to challenge Nikah case verdict, says Barrister Gohar
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Saturday the allegations hurled at the PTI founder and his wife in the Nikah case were highly unethical.
He said the decision was expected. “I told the judge that such a decision was not expected from you as it’s a frivolous case,” he said.
He said the cleric claimed that Aun Chaudhry brought him here. He said the judge had yet to sign the verdict. All of it was being done illegally and unethically, he added.
“Law stipulates that the judge seeks signature of the convicts and hands over a copy of the verdict,” he said.
Gohar said the PTI founder was unlike other politicians. “It’s for the first time in history that the intra-party elections of just one party were scrutinised. All possible efforts are being made to oust us from elections and this fact is as clear as day,” he bemoaned.
He said the PTI wanted to move court against the decision and “we hope to get justice in the case.” He said the event mentioned during the course of case proceedings was meant for prayers, not Nikah, he said.
He said the PTI founder had conveyed a message to workers that they should remain peaceful and the only deal he would enter into would be related to country’s prosperity.
Barrister Gohar said the party would also challenge Bushra Bibi’s confinement to one room. She should be allowed to move about freely in her house, he added.
