Rana Sanaullah refutes 'conspiracy theories' linking relaxation meted out to Imran with 'discussion' on proposed 28th Amendment

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Thursday rejected “conspiracy theories“ suggesting that the permission granted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan to meet his lawyers was linked to "discussion" on the proposed 28th Amendment.

The permission for the meeting was granted after Barrister Salman Safdar and Latif Khosa had argued that they could not proceed with arguments in the ongoing appeals in the £190 million case without first meeting their clients. Speaking on a private television programme, Capital Talk, Sanaullah said: “Conspiracy theories are circulating that these meetings with Imran have happened and things are now moving towards the passage of the 28th Amendment. I want to say that this was a simple meeting of the lawyers who had committed to the IHC that they would proceed with the appeal and make their arguments if they were allowed to meet with Imran." C would be able to proceed with the legal case and pass judgment on the matter.
