ISLAMABAD: Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan did not appear in court despite being summoned in Toshkhana case.

Had he not plundered Toshakhana gifts then why he was hesitant to face trial, she questioned.

She in series of tweets, criticised Imran Khan for evading court hearing. “Imran Khan had said, ‘I am not at home, I will appear in court on 7th’. Today again, Imran Khan is flouting judicial system and law. This is elite and mafia of country who consider themselves above law,” Sherry said.

No criminal had ever got same facilities and privileges from court as ‘Ladley Khan’ was getting, she added. “For which criminal court waits for whole day?” she queried. “Our leaders were ordered strictly to appear in court. Why legal and judicial principles are not same for all?”

“Why is Imran Khan, who demanded public hearing of Toshakhana case, refusing to answer questions in court? All time, why did those who shouted thieves and thieves run away from answering their thefts?” she raised questions.

It is unseemly for a sitting PM to state a preference for dialogue with a candidate from another country in the middle of their election. Pakistan does business with states not individuals. To say Modi will give us a better chance to talk is closing the door for others in India!
