RAWALPINDI, Jan 25: Former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that the Punjab government had imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to hamper the upcoming show of power by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insafs candidates.
He was speaking to media persons after attending proceedings of GBP190 million, Toshakhana, and cipher cases.
Accountability judge Mohammad Bashir deferred the indictment of Khan in the £190m reference as the defence counsel was absent.
Judge of Special Court (Official Secrets Act) Abual Hasnat Mohammad Zulqarnain, on the other hand, concluded the cross-examination of four prosecution witnesses in the cipher case.
There are 25 prosecution witnesses to be cross-examined by the counsel for Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
The witnesses cross-examined on Wednesday included Deputy Director of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Iqra Ashraf, Imran Sajid, Shamoon Qaiser and cipher assistant Mohammad Nauman.
Later, Khan told media persons that the caretaker government, a few individuals in the establishment and the Election Commission of Pakistan are united against his party. —DAWN
