Expressing his lack of faith in the justice system, Khan insisted on a live trial to ensure transparency, stating his desire for the nation to witness the proceedings.

“The Chief Justice is a Muslim and Allah Almighty has said this about Muslims. “Do not hate your enemies so much that you cannot do justice.” The Quran is for everyone and our job is to remember,” he remarked.

He accused the London Plan of trampling democracy and alleged that even during the ongoing election campaign, individuals are being detained.

Imran Khan asserted that when the people make a decision, no amount of propaganda will be successful.

“Neither me nor Bushra Bibi has any contact with anyone in the power corridor,” he maintained.

“A cowardly enemy has no morals, the same actions were taken by the Election Commission of Pakistan, he added.
