Islamabad. A Pakistani court on Monday acquitted the former prime minister and other top leaders of his party in cases related to sabotage during a protest march in March 2022. The 71-year-old founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been in jail since August last year after being convicted in the cases. According to the Express Tribune newspaper, the District and Sessions Court of Islamabad acquitted Khan, former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, former Communications Minister Murad Saeed and other PTI leaders in two cases of sabotage during the ‘Haqiqi Azadi’ march.
In May 2022, Khan launched a march from Lahore to Islamabad to topple the Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government, which was formed after Khan lost a no-confidence motion. The rally was part of the PTI’s struggle to achieve ‘haqiqi azaadi’ (real freedom) and liberate the nation from the slavery of the US-backed coalition government.
At that time, Islamabad police had registered separate cases against 150 people, including Khan, Qureshi and other party leaders, over allegations of arson and vandalism in the federal capital. Earlier this month, an Islamabad judicial magistrate acquitted Khan in two cases of vandalism during his party’s two ‘long marches’ in 2022.
