ATC rejects Aleema's plea to remove terror charges
The Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court has rejected Aleema Khan's petition seeking the exclusion of terrorism charges under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act. Judge Amjad Ali Shah ruled: “Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) is valid, and the court also has proper jurisdiction”.
Earlier, police prevented Aleema from leaving the courtroom premises, citing the court’s order requiring her presence. “Preventing Aleema Khan from leaving amounts to an illegal detention, which we will challenge,” stated her defence lawyer, Faisal Malik. He added that if such behaviour continues towards Aleema Khan and her legal team, they may boycott the proceedings.
On November 13, 2023, Imran Khan made a “final call” for nationwide protests to be held on November 24, demanding the restoration of PTI’s electoral mandate, the release of imprisoned party members, and the reversal of the 26th Amendment, which he claimed had empowered a “dictatorial regime” and calling it "illegal".
The case, registered at Sadiqabad Police Station against Aleema and 11 other accused, lists charges including protesting against the government, chanting anti-government slogans, vandalism, and stone-pelting. Aleema Khan had filed a petition in the ATC to have Section 7 of the ATA removed from her charge sheet, which was framed a month ago.
Section 7 of the ATA states that convictions for offences requiring more than 10 years imprisonment will also result in the forfeiture of property.
Faisal Malik noted that under Section 6 of the ATA, terrorism charges cannot be applied to political gatherings. He emphasised that this is an ordinary court case and cited relevant Supreme Court rulings.
The prosecution countered, describing the petition as a “waste of time,” noting that 12 of the accused have already confessed. They argued that challenges to terrorism charges should have been raised at the time of framing the indictment.
Questions were also raised regarding the status of the accused who have pleaded guilty and received sentences. The prosecution requested that witness statements be recorded.
The court rejected the petition, stating that “This case falls within the jurisdiction of the anti-terrorism court". Aleema's counsel has vowed to fight the charges in the Islamabad High Court.
The hearing has been adjourned until December 4, and the court has summoned government witnesses for the next date.
"They want to send me to jail; they are just looking for a way," Aleema Khan said. "Judges’ time is being wasted unnecessarily," she added.
The case hearings have been marred by controversy. Aleema Khan had been absent for many of the case hearings, which had led to the court issuing threats of property seizure and 11 arrest warrants. The ATC had also instructed to have her National Identity Card (NIC) and passport blocked. She had finally appeared in court for her hearing on November 20.
Aleema was briefly taken into judicial custody and barred from leaving the court premises in Rawalpindi in the previous hearing on November 26.

PTI claims hidden hands behind attempts to pitch biggest party against 'majors'
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan expressed strong disappointment over comments made by the Pakistan Army spokesperson a day earlier, calling the language “inappropriate” and harmful to democratic norms.
The statement came a day after the director general of the military’s media wing, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, on Friday assailed incarcerated former premier Imran Khan, calling him a “threat to national security” and warning that no one would be allowed to incite the public against the armed forces.
Speaking at a news conference in Rawalpindi, the ISPR chief said Khan’s “anti-army” rhetoric had crossed the limits of politics and now posed a direct threat to the nation’s security. He added that the military had deemed it necessary to confront the “creeping national security threat.”
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Saturday, Gohar said a major institution’s senior official using such words — even indirectly — for a large political party, its leadership, or the chief minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was unfortunate for democracy. He said the statements made in the press briefing were “very disappointing” and the language used “not appropriate.”
Gohar stressed that PTI did not intend to heighten tensions. “This press conference is not for confrontation. But we want to make clear that some people appear to be trying to create conflict between the workers of a major political party and personnel of a major state institution. This must not happen.”
Throughout the press conference, PTI leaders said they did not seek confrontation or political instability. Gohar said “Some people want fights. We do not. We want dialogue, humility, and space.”
Despite what he described as serious allegations, Gohar said the party would not retaliate with aggression. “We are not going to respond to a brick with a stone, but we need to tell the public what has happened to us.”
He said PTI believed that “any destruction begins with the utterance of a few inappropriate words,” urging humility and space for dialogue. He added that meetings with Khan were not being allowed and cases concerning him were not being heard. “Our narrative has moved from ‘free Imran Khan’ to ‘allow us to meet him.’”
Detailing political grievances, he said “With 180 seats, we were made to sit on 91. Our own seat was taken away. The founding chairman always said the country is ours and the army is ours. In times of war, we always stood with the army. After all this, we still thought things would improve.”
‘Country pushed into coercion’
PTI leader Salman Akram Raja said Pakistan had repeatedly witnessed “dark moments” where the state resorted to coercive measures. “We were told that this country needs the stick to progress, but we know what happened — in Karachi, bodies were found in bags.”
He said the region was marked by conflict and militarisation but lacked welfare, while Pakistan had persistently faced narratives that democracy was unsuitable. “Every time authoritarianism came, it left Pakistan weaker. Where does Pakistan stand today?”
Raja said the global order was shifting and countries were being “pushed to choose between powerful states — one side China and the other the United States,” though Pakistan had not benefitted from such pressures. “Has Pakistan moved forward through coercion? The elite only became richer.”
He criticised what he described as efforts to undermine the judiciary and the legal community, pointing to cases against PTI lawyers. “How can an officer be a substitute for an independent judiciary?” he asked, noting that despite having a constitution, Pakistan had been left behind.

Raja said the Supreme Court granted PTI reserved seats but “it was then turned into a district court.” He questioned whether this was the purpose for which Pakistan was created. “Quaid-e-Azam always told the military leadership not to engage in politics.”
He said PTI’s demands had shifted from seeking Khan’s release to merely requesting permission for a meeting. “If this continues, democracy will be ruined.”
‘K-P feels insulted’
Former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser rejected any portrayal of Khan as a security threat. “If someone says Khan’s name will be erased or he is a security risk, I condemn it,” he said.
He said the military spokesperson’s remarks had caused deep resentment in K-P. “We will demand that those words be withdrawn. The entire province feels insulted.”
Qaiser said he had taught many students now serving in the armed forces and other institutions, underscoring that PTI wanted to see a strong military. “Soldiers and police officers are being martyred daily. We do not want chaos. Our demand is democracy.”
He said PTI leaders continued to face imprisonment. “Sixty-four thousand FIRs registered and thirty-four thousand arrests,” he claimed, adding that the party’s seats had been “given to another party.” Criticising restrictions on meetings with PTI leaders, he said “Those who say meetings will not be allowed — who are you? The people have rejected you.”

Qaiser demanded the immediate release of Khan and other detained leaders and criticised constitutional amendments that he said had “paralysed the courts.” He confirmed that the opposition alliance had agreed to convene a national conference.
Raja said Pakistan could not progress unless the people’s voice resonated inside parliament. “We are not here to respond to yesterday’s press conference. We will not respond in kind,” he said.
Qaiser added that PTI remained the country’s largest political force and essential for national progress. “Without us, no challenge can be overcome. Institutions and the people must move forward together. We do not want unrest in the country.”

What a joke, Pakistan has become of late
===70 of 92 KP Assembly members wanted by federal police
Federal police have registered cases against 70 of the 92 members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, primarily from the PTI, across various police stations in Islamabad. Among them, former Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur faces the highest number of cases.
Islamabad police have collected detailed records of previously registered cases, which include serious charges such as terrorism and attacks on police and Rangers personnel. Most of the PTI MPAs have yet to obtain bail from any court.
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is wanted in 11 separate cases, while Sohail Afridi faces seven cases under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and additional charges related to attacks on police personnel.
Former Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has 52 FIRs registered against him, spanning 18 different police stations between 2022 and November 2024, according to police records.

Deputy Speaker Suraya Bibi has a case registered in November 2024 for leading a violent protest. Minister for Local Government and Minister for Higher Education of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Meena Afridi, faces four cases in Golra, Aabpara, Nown, and Secretariat police stations.
Speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Babar Swati, has a case registered at the Secretariat police station in Islamabad. Faisal Tarkai, a well-known personality from Sawabi, is named in a case under seven ATA sections. Asad Qaiser’s brother, Aqibullah, also has a case registered against him at the Secretariat police station, according to police records.
The development highlights the extensive legal challenges facing PTI leaders and prominent political figures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with authorities actively pursuing pending cases across the federal capital.

Salman Akram Raja rejects Gohar as PTI chairperson
Tehreek-e-Insaf's Salman Akram Raja has refused to recognise Barrister Gohar Ali Khan as the chairman of PTI, stating that the party chairperson was "Imran Khan and no one else."
His remarks came during a media talk at the Gorakhpur checkpoint in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, the day reserved for meetings with the PTI founder at Adiala Jail.
PTI workers began gathering at the checkpoint amid a heavy police deployment. Routes leading to Adiala Jail were blocked, with checkpoints established at five locations.
Responding to a journalist’s question about why Barrister Gohar had been effectively sidelined in practice and who the new chairman would be, Raja said the party chairman was “Imran Khan and no one else”. He added that the treatment meted out to PTI by the Election Commission amounted to “rules of coercion”.
On the other hand, PTI chairperson Brrister Gohar Ali Khan announced plans for February 8, a nationwide shutdown and wheel-jam strike, with protests across the country. He said meetings between the PTI founder, his sisters and lawyers were essential to normalise the situation.
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan arrived at the Dahgal checkpoint on Adiala Road and spoke to the media, stating that if the idea of negotiations had been reduced to a meeting of "five elders", it should not be considered negotiations at all. "Neither can five elders meet, nor is there any need for it," he said, questioning how talks could proceed if meetings were not being allowed.
Gohar said PTI leaders came every Tuesday but returned without any meeting, adding that for more than a month, no one had been allowed to meet the party founder. "By making meetings controversial, how will matters move forward?" he asked.
Clarifying remarks attributed to him about "begging", he said his words had been distorted. He explained that despite court orders, standard operating procedures and laws, meetings were still not being allowed. "If meetings are denied even after court orders, then it amounts to begging," he said, adding that the system had become stagnant for PTI and that since February last year, the leadership had not been able to meet the party founder.
The last person to hold a meeting with Khan was his sister, Dr Uzma Khanum, on December 2. The meeting, held in a special room, lasted 37 minutes. Speaking to reporters outside the facility, she said the interaction had gone well and reassured supporters about his condition, confirming that the former premier was in good health. "Alhamdulillah, his condition is fine, and he is fully recovering," she stated, offering a rare on-record update amid persistent concerns over his well-being.
Gohar said a heavy price was being demanded to normalise the situation, adding that whilst PTI tried to improve matters, the other side made equal efforts to worsen them. He said the greatest strength of the PTI founder and the party lay in its workers, who had endured severe hardships imposed by the state.
Gohar said he had received a call from Imran Ismail and informed him that PTI would not participate in his conference, adding that the party had reservations about it. He said he did not comment publicly on internal party matters.
Almost ten days ago, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif extended an olive branch to PTI for political dialogue. The process now appears to be idling at the starting line, with the federal government yet to make any formal contact with the opposition alliance on the timing and framework of talks, casting a shadow over the seriousness of the outreach. Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Aeen Pakistan (TTAP) formally accepted the prime minister's offer on December 24, showing willingness for dialogue without preconditions. However, no follow-up engagement has taken place so far, leaving the process stalled at the declaratory stage.
Salman Akram Raja, addressing the media was asked why Aleema Khan, despite holding no official party position, was considered answerable by senior party leaders. Raja rejected the premise of the question, asking who had claimed she was answerable, and said the assertion was “completely wrong”.
In response to a question about Aleema Khan’s reported statement that negotiations would not take place, Raja said the decision was not hers but an order from Imran Khan.
Gohar said there was no disagreement over the founder's instructions regarding the street movement and that no party committee could ignore those directives. "Protesting is our right, and the party has a clear plan of action," he said, adding that PTI had never called off talks but questioned the logic of involving "five elders".
He said the Speaker had indicated a decision on notifications by the next session and expressed hope that opposition leaders' notifications would be issued before then. He added that PTI expected the Pakistan Peoples Party to allow a public rally in Sindh and supported granting full protocol to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi.
Gohar said Senator Ali Zafar enjoyed the PTI founder's trust, whilst Abro had been expelled from the party. He concluded by saying PTI would never sabotage any process and that he would remain in office as long as he retained the founder's confidence.
Afridi, on January 2, announced that he would take his street campaign to Karachi on January 9 to mobilise party supporters and convey Khan's message. Days after concluding a fraught three-day visit to Lahore aimed at launching PTI's street movement, Afridi wrote on X, "Friday, January 9! Karachi, Sindh, are you ready?"
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister said he would be visiting Karachi "bearing Imran Khan's message", and that he would be meeting "all friends of the party".
His announcement comes in the wake of a turbulent Lahore visit, during which he attempted to address supporters at Liberty Chowk but was unable to do so after police sealed off all access roads by setting up pickets. During the same visit, Afridi addressed PTI lawmakers at the Punjab Assembly, an appearance marked by altercations between members of his entourage and security officials. Several heated exchanges between PTI leaders and journalists were also witnessed.
He was barred from entering the cantonment area to meet party leaders and was also prevented from visiting the food street, which had been shut down ahead of his arrival. Afridi later went to Zaman Park amid heavy police deployment, whilst reports also emerged of PTI supporters being detained during the tour.
On Monday, Afridi formally complained to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, objecting to the treatment he received during the Lahore visit. In his letter, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister said the Punjab government's adoption of an extraordinary and excessive security posture, including sweeping detentions and visible enforcement theatrics, was "a message of intimidation rather than cooperation".
The allotted time for meeting the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at Adiala Jail has ended, with no permission granted to his sisters or any party leader to meet him. However, PTI founder’s three sisters, along with party workers, continue to stage a sit-in at the Factory Naka.
Those present at the protest include Salman Akram Raja, Aun Abbas Bappi, Shandana Gulzar, Naim Panjutha, Meena Khan Afridi and Shaukat Basra.
Aleema Khan arrived at the Gorakhpur checkpoint earlier in the day, moving towards the Factory checkpoint.
Aleema said the recitation of the Holy Quran had been delayed because roads were blocked. "Checkpoints have been set up everywhere. Wherever people are stopped, they will recite the Quran there," she said.
She alleged that the PTI founder, Imran Khan, was being kept in solitary confinement, adding that his isolation demonstrated fear. "What will they gain by keeping him imprisoned? Continuous solitary confinement clearly indicates they are afraid of him," she said.
Aleema said Khan wished to speak about people's freedom. She claimed the country's economy had been ruined and urged police personnel to show compassion towards workers, but not to follow unlawful orders. She said the country was not being managed properly and that people had grown frustrated. "We come to meet him, but meetings are not facilitated," she added, alleging that the media avoided even mentioning the PTI founder whilst giving coverage to international leaders.
The sit-in led by Aleema is continuing at the Factory checkpoint on Adiala Road, Rawalpindi. The PTI founder's other two sisters, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan, are also present. The valve of a water tanker parked at the site was opened, causing water to spill and soak the area where the protesters were seated. After the incident, participants shifted to another spot. Police later removed the water tanker from the protest site.

Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has officially been appointed as the leader of the opposition in the Senate, filling a position that has been vacant for the past five months
The announcement came during a Senate session chaired by Yousuf Raza Gilani, where Abbas secured 22 votes from opposition members, according to the chairman. The Senate Secretariat has been instructed to issue the official notification immediately.
Chairman Gilani formally declared Raja Nasir Abbas as the Senate opposition leader. During the proceedings, PML-N Senator Nasir Butt questioned the Senate chairman about Abbas’s party affiliation, noting that he is not a member of PTI, and asked whether the party had no eligible candidate for the post.
Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarrar and PML-N’s Rana Sanaullah welcomed the new opposition leader in the House. Senators also congratulated Raja Nasir Abbas at his seat.
On Monday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Ali Zafar confirmed that Senate Chairman Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has decided on Allama Raja Nasir Abbas's appointment as the opposition leader in Parliament's upper house, and the process for it had begun.
Zafar said the Senate chairman was reminded during a meeting that he had previously stated he was consulting with the National Assembly speaker regarding the issuance of a notification for the opposition leader in the upper house.
Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court yesterday, Barrister Gohar mentioned that the PTI founder had nominated Achakzai and Allama Abbas for the position of opposition leaders in the National Assembly and Senate, and it would be ideal if both nominations were approved.
Since NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq had decided and appointed Mahmood Khan Achakzai as the NA opposition leader, Zafar said Gilani was also requested to announce PTI's nominee for the Senate opposition leader.
Last week, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah had said that he expected progress on the Senate opposition leader's appointment by this week, following Achakzai's appointment as the opposition leader in the National Assembly.
In October last year, the PTI had nominated Achakzai and Allama Abbas as its candidates for the positions of the NA and Senate opposition leaders, respectively.
Following months of delay, Achakzai was appointed to the position last week after Sadiq issued his notification.
