Barrister Gohar Hopes for Imran Khan’s Release Before Eidul Adha

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has expressed hope that the party’s founder, Imran Khan, may be released from jail before Eidul Adha.

While speaking to media in Islamabad on Monday, Barrister Gohar said, “We are making all possible efforts, and we are hopeful that Allah will make a way.”

He highlighted the frustration and concerns of PTI workers over the continued imprisonment of their leader. “It’s hard to understand why Imran Khan has been behind bars for the past two years,” he said.

Gohar assured party supporters that PTI is using all legal and constitutional means for Imran Khan’s release. “We have staged sit-ins, organized protests, and raised our voice in the assemblies,” he added.

He acknowledged that PTI members and supporters have been facing tough times for the last two years. “Our people are tired, but we are standing strong,” he said.

Barrister Gohar expressed hope that Imran Khan’s legal cases would be heard soon and decided on merit. “I believe his case will be scheduled before Eid, and he will be released before Eidul Adha,” he stated.
