Pakistan court to hear Imran Khan's bail plea in a graft case on June 11

ISLAMABAD: Incarcerated former Pakistan PM Imran Khan is likely to get bail on June 11 in the Al-Qadir Trust case, a top member of his party said on Sunday. The Islamabad HC is set to hear petitions requesting the suspension of sentences of Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the £190 million case. Khan, 72, has been lodged at Adiala Jail since Aug 2023 in multiple cases.

Expressing confidence the party's founder will secure bail that day, Gohar Ali Khan, chief of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said, June 11 is going to be an important day. HC had earlier postponed the hearing of petitions in the Al-Qadir Trust case until June 11. The adjournment came after national accountability bureau (NAB) requested additional time to prepare its arguments, ARY News reported. Gohar said PTI will collaborate with opposition parties to launch a movement that will be led by the party's patron-in-chief from jail.

He urged the opposition parties to join PTI for the sake of the country's survival and security and revealed that a strategy for the upcoming budget has been finalised. "The party will address a press conference on June 9 regarding it," he said.

Last month, Khan had said he will lead his party's upcoming protest movement against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led coalition govt at the Centre, from the prison.
