According to his sister Aleema Khan, Imran Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who is currently incarcerated, said on Monday that the decision in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case will not affect the ongoing discussion.
Aleema met her brother at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi on Monday and cited him as saying, “This verdict has nothing to do with the [PTI] negotiation committees [and the process].”
Concerns regarding the future of the ongoing negotiations between the government and the former ruling party were aroused last week after an accountability court in Rawalpindi declared PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, guilty in the well-known corruption case.
In the case, Judge Nasir Javed Rana sentenced the PTI founder to 14 years in prison and his wife to seven years.
