Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, along with several senior party colleagues, was acquitted in a case concerning protests against his disqualification by the election commission due to the Toshakhana corruption case. The court's decision, announced by Judicial Magistrate Yasir Mehmood, marks a pivotal moment in Pakistani politics.
The other PTI leaders exonerated include Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Sheikh Rasheed, Asad Qaiser, Shehryar Afridi, Faisal Javed, Raja Khurram Nawaz, and Ali Nawaz Awan. The case stemmed from protests against a 2022 decision by the Election Commission of Pakistan that disqualified Khan for making false statements.
Khan has been embroiled in multiple legal battles, including corruption and terrorism charges, since his ousting as prime minister. His recent acquittal could potentially impact upcoming national elections, setting the stage for a significant shift in the country's political landscape.
