Tarar’s address also touched upon recent events involving PTI’s founder, Imran Khan, and his wife Bushra Bibi. Just days earlier, the couple had been remanded into custody by a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court over allegations related to a Toshakhana case. This followed their swift arrest from Adiala jail, where they had been released only hours earlier in connection with another legal matter.
Highlighting the seriousness of the situation, Tarar emphasized the government’s duty to uphold national integrity, citing instances like the foreign funding controversy and the May 9 riots as evidence of PTI’s alleged activities against the state. These incidents, Tarar argued, underscored the necessity of the government’s decision to pursue legal measures against PTI.
Tarar’s statement also included a commitment from the government to collaborate with its allies in pursuing a review petition concerning the allocation of reserved seats, asserting that PTI had received undue advantage despite not being a party directly involved in the case.
In a separate development, Tarar acknowledged the presence of a Lahore police team at Adiala jail to question Imran Khan regarding multiple arson cases linked to May 9 incidents, further highlighting the intensifying legal scrutiny facing PTI’s leadership.
Tarar’s words resonated with a sense of gravity and responsibility, marking a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s political landscape as the government navigates complex challenges in its pursuit of national stability and justice.
