9th September 2023 News Headlines
A summary of today's important and breaking news regarding PTI and the country that the mainstream media of Pakistan will never show you.
- Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf and former Prime Minister Imran Khan's illegal imprisonment has passed 35 today, Imran Khan has not been given facilities according to his position, nor is his case being heard on merit in the courts. For the past one week, the legal team has been going around the courts, but sometimes the judge himself gets sick, sometimes he is on leave due to the illness of his wife. Keeping the former prime minister of the country in jail in an illegal case is murder of justice. Even today, when his legal team reached the court, the judge was on leave, the hearing was adjourned till Monday.
- Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan has sent a message from jail through his lawyer that it is better for me to stay in jail than in a country that is under slavery. He said that the nation should understand the importance of real freedom and stand up. Imran Khan is in jail in worst conditions only for his nation.
- Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan's lawyer Intizar Hussain Panjutha said in his tweet, "A fact that was not mentioned before in the first hearing of the cipher case in Attock Jail, when we filed the bail application, the judge immediately said that I will set a date of 11th or 12th September, on which we said that this bail is after arrest, do not give such a long date, on which the date was shortened, but perhaps the plan was already made to hear it on the 11th and 12th of September.”

- In Arshad Sharif Shaheed’s case, a non-bailable arrest warrant was shamelessly issued against his wife Summaiya Arshad.
