ISLAMABAD - A Pakistan court will review Tuesday whether remarks made by former Prime Minister Imran Khan about the judiciary justify undertaking a contempt of court case or not, the latest in a string of legal measures Khan is facing.
A posting by the Islamabad High Court said a case involving Khan will take place on Tuesday, without specifying a time. The government had previously said it is reviewing whether to pursue action after a speech by Khan targeting state institutions, including the judiciary and the police. Outlets including The Nation said the hearing involves the so-called suo motu case against the former prime minister. It's not clear if the court will make a decision Tuesday or just discuss the case.The ruling government has increased its pressure in recent weeks by stopping TV channels from airing Khan's speeches, arresting one of his aides and shutting down a channel seen loyal to his party.
During a briefing on Sunday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the speech continued a trend by Khan of targeting the army, judiciary and police and"was meant to threaten officials and prevent them from their lawful duty."
