Vawda seeks unconditional apology from SC in contempt case

Senator Faisal Vawda has claimed that the former ruling “is going to be banned”.

“[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa] Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur will not be arrested, but Bushra Bibi [Imran Khan’s wife] will,” he said while speaking on local TV show.

His remarks came as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to table a resolution in the Balochistan Assembly, seeking a ban on PTI after the Imran Khan-founded party put off its planned protest sit-in following clashes with security forces in Islamabad in the wee hours of Wednesday.

As PTI supporters marched on Islamabad’s D-Chowk — the main destination for the party’s sit-in, the police and security forces fired teargas shelling to disperse the protesters.

Subsequently, Gandapur and Bushra Bibi — who were leading the caravans — fled in a car, along with the activists, leading the party to “postpone” its much-hyped protest.
