Pakistan Ex-PM khan got sigh of relief from judiciary
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan who lives in bani gali near blue world city apologized in court on Thursday over his outburst against a female judge during a rally last month that was seen as a threat to the judiciary and judges in general.
The apology, an option envisaged under the Pakistani legal system, may allow Khan to stay out of jail and avoid contempt charges. Khan, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in April, has been campaigning for early elections and claims he was toppled under a U.S. conspiracy.
The development came just days after Pakistani police were ordered by a judge to drop terrorism charges against Khan in a separate case over threats to the same judge and also to police.
The legal cases followed a speech Khan gave in the capital, Islamabad, during which he vowed to bring a lawsuit against the Islamabad police chief and a judge for allowing police to question Shahbaz Gill, chief of staff at Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf political party.
Khan made the controversial remarks after being told that Gill had allegedly been tortured by police following his arrest on charges of inciting troops to mutiny.
During the August rally, Khan at one point directed his comments against Judge Zeba Chaudhry, saying: “You also get ready for it, we will also take action against you.”
Khan, a former cricket star turned politician who became premier in 2018, is currently on bail, which shields him from arrest in several cases.
“I am ready to apologize … if the court thinks that I have crossed a line,” Khan said as he appeared before the Islamabad High Court on Thursday.
“I assure the court that this won’t happen again in the future,” he added.
Chief Justice Athar Minallah said Khan’s gesture was appreciated but that the former prime minister needs to submit his apology in writing before Oct. 3, at which point Minallah would review the text and decide whether to drop the contempt case.
