Imran's sister to file contempt petition against PM
Uzma alleges govt functionaries deliberately violated SC's Aug 18 order
Uzma Khan, sister of former premier Imran Khan, plans to file a second contempt petition against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other government officials in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The petition alleges that the government has failed to arrange meetings and phone calls between Imran Khan and his family members, despite court orders issued on August 18.
Khaid Yousaf Chaudhry, representing Imran Khan and his family, stated that the government has only allowed two meetings since the order and has ignored the family members' requests for phone calls. The petition argues that the government's actions are a deliberate violation of the court's directives, undermining the court's authority and bringing ridicule to the judicial process.
The hearing for the first contempt petition is scheduled for September 16, and the Supreme Court will hear both cases together.
