KARACHI:
Senator Faisal Vawda has predicted that former prime minister Imran Khan will be convicted in the £190 million case, with sentencing due today.
Vawda, who was once considered Imran’s close aide and served as his cabinet member, was addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club.
According to the senator, he had warned the former prime minister that the government’s decision to award the £190 million received from a British agency would land him in trouble.
“A crime is supposed to be punished and it will be punished, he [Imran Khan] was forced to commit that crime,” he added.
The disgruntled PTI leader also commented on the ongoing talks between the government and the PTI, describing it as the game of “hide and seek”.
He criticized the opposition party for now begging for negotiation after taking an aggressive stance towards the government. The senator welcomed the PTI’s decision to hold talks with the government but also urged it to enter the dialogue with a good intention.
He advised the PTI supporters not to appreciate Donald Trump’s return to the White House on January 20, claiming that the wind is blowing in favor of the country, not the PTI.
Vawda repeated his claims that Imran Khan’s life was in danger and that the danger came from some people very close to him.
