He said he was indicted in a false drug case as a political revenge and it has been now two years he was attending hearings but nothing has been proved yet. He said the prosecution has failed to provide copies of the statements of witnesses during the two years.

He alleged that Imran Khan took money from Israeli and Indian lobby firms and used that foreign funding against the country. He said he has confessed to the crime in the Election Commission, the Chief Election Commission has no option but to punish him. It has been proved that they collected money in the name of suffering humanity and used this funding against Pakistan. The owner of Broadsheet was also a thief and was associated with the present regime, Rana alleged, adding these were the people who were real thieves.

Answering a question, he said a no-confidence motion was also an option under discussion, which can be brought against the present government once the PDM takes a final decision on it.
