Senior PTI leader Shahbaz Gill on Thursday filed a plea seeking bail in the sedition case filed against him, in a district and sessions court in Islamabad where the case is currently under trial.
Advocate Faisal Chaudhry and others in PTI’s legal team filed the plea on Gill’s behalf. The plea stated that the case against Gill is based on “malafide intent” and “political malice”.
“I have passed out from the best universities and have been teaching in American and European varsities. Bits of my remarks [made during live TV programme] were distorted and included in the FIR,” Gill stated in the plea. He argued that a case under sections of treason is not admissible against him.
