Govt won’t have objection if court releases Imran: Rana Sana

ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Thursday said the incumbent government would not have any objection if the court releases incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan.

The development comes as the key opposition party, the PTI, is gearing up for a countrywide protest drive after Eidul Fitr against what the former ruling party said is “stolen mandate”, to restore the supremacy of rule of law and Constitution and release of political prisoners in the country. During his interaction with journalists on Thursday, the PM’s aide said that the PTI founder was in jail due to the cases he was convicted in.

Responding to another question regarding the recent in-camera meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, the former security czar said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was asked to strengthen the capability of the police and the CTD amid rising incidents of terrorism.
