RAWALPINDI: Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan criticised the deferment of the £190m case’s verdict by terming it a pressure tactic of rulers, his sister Aleema Khan said on Monday amid ongoing negotiations between the former ruling party and the coalition government to end political disputes.
“They want a sword hanging on my neck by not giving a verdict of £190m case,” Aleema quoted the former premier as saying while talking to reporters outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
This statement came after Islamabad’s accountability court postponed the case’s verdict till January 13 earlier today.
It was the third time that the verdict – reserved on December 18 — in the abovementioned case, also known as the Al-Qadir Trust case.
