Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday said his recent sentencing in the al-Qadir Trust corruption case was part of a political strategy to force him into making a deal, and has dismissed any suggestions of negotiations or compromise with the government.
A Pakistani court on Friday sentenced Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 14 and seven years in prison respectively after finding them guilty of corruption in the 190 million pounds al-Qadir Trust case.
Khan, who is currently lodged in Adiala jail, is facing dozens of cases after he lost a trust vote in Parliament in 2022.
