Khan’s Lawyer Appeals to Lahore High Court Over May 9 Incident
The petition was submitted by Khan’s lawyer, Uzair Karamat, to the Lahore High Court (LHC). The federal government and the Inspector Generals (IGs) of all four provinces have been made respondents in the case.
Khan stated that a false narrative had been constructed, accusing him of inciting protests at the General Headquarters (GHQ).
He described the May 9 incident as a “false flag operation,” asserting that those who stole the CCTV footage of the events were the true culprits.
The PTI’s supremo criticized the comparison of the May 9 incident to the US Capitol Hill protests, highlighting that a thorough and transparent investigation was conducted in the case, leading to the punishment of only the involved individuals, without implicating the entire Republican Party.
The then-Prime Minister urged the court to order custody in the May 9 cases to remain with civilian courts and to issue a stay order to prevent his handover to military authorities.
