Court dismisses former Pakistan PM Khan’s illegal marriage sentence plea

Rana Sanaullah, an assistant to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said this month” the government may try to keep him locked up for as long as achievable”.

Experts say Pakistan’s strong military, which ruled straight for decades and also wields enormous power, is likely behind the kills of cases.

After arguing with the major generals who had once supported him, Khan was ousted by a legislative no-confidence vote.

Finally, in November of this year, he accused major officers of conspiring in an assassination test in which he was shot during a social protest. He then launched an extraordinary campaign of defiance in opposition to them.

Khan’s short imprisonment in May 2023 sparked global turmoil, which in turn prompted a broad assault against his Pakistan Tehreek- e- Insaf ( PTI ) group and its top leaders.

In the February elections, PTI candidates were forced to declare themselves politicians, but candidates loyal to the group still won more votes than any other candidate.

However, a large coalition of events regarded as devoted to the military kept them from taking office.
