Islamabad (Urdu Point Newspaper Latest - International Press Agency. May 16, 2024) Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail for 9 months, appeared in the Supreme Court for the first time through a video link after his arrest from his residence in Lahore Zaman Park in August 2023. There is a debate going on in the whole country whether this video will be allowed to be shown on television channels or not.
Private television channels want to show this video to increase their ratings, but due to PEMRA restrictions, they are not allowed to show the former prime minister's picture or even take his name, so they never show his jail inmate number. The founder of Tehreek-e-Insaf and his son Qasim have been called "Qasim's father". Political analysts of Pakistan believe that TV channels may not be allowed to show his appearance through video link. He has told with reference to his party leaders that the former prime minister has been preparing his notes for appearance in jail for two days.
He will try to convey his message to the nation while staying within the scope of his case because he has a lot of content within the arguments regarding the "NAB Amendment Case" which can be termed as a political speech on behalf of the former Prime Minister. The government is afraid of making political speeches or addressing its workers and Law Minister Azam Nazir had expressed reservations on the order of the Supreme Court.
On the other hand, the party of former Prime Minister Imran Khan had expressed concerns about the ban on meetings in Adiala Jail and said that this move has been taken to keep the party chief away from the proceedings of the Supreme Court, in which a 5-member bench has upheld Imran Khan. was ordered to attend. It should be noted that on May 14, the Supreme Court allowed former Prime Minister Imran Khan to appear via video link during the hearing against the nullification of the National Accountability Bureau Amendments by a 5-member larger bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa. Justice Aminuddin, Justice Jamal Mandukhel, Justice Athar Minullah and Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi are included in the bench.
