ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Core Committee expressed grave concerns over the extraordinary acceleration in the hearing of the false, fabricated and baseless Al-Qadir Trust case against PTI Founding Chairman Imran Khan, fearing that the processing the case was speeded up to sentence him unlawfully and unconstitutional in the case to prolong his imprisonment.

They expressed hope that PTI’s candidate victory in the by-election was certain with a margin of 40,000 to 50,000 votes.
