ECP presses for Imran's video link appearance

The ECP has directed the authorities concerned to ensure the appearance of PTI founder Imran Khan through video link in the upcoming hearing of the contempt case.

A four-member commission, headed by Sindh member Nisar Durrani, heard the contempt case against the PTI founder over allegations of using contemptuous remarks against the Election Commission and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).

During the hearing, ECP's K-P member noted that the PTI founder was granted bail on Wednesday in the Toshakhana-II case. Lawyer Faisal Chaudhry explained that the PTI founder was arrested in another case but emphasised that his presence was crucial for recording evidence.

Officials informed the court that the PTI founder could appear via video link. The ECP instructed authorities to ensure his appearance through video link at the next hearing.

Sindh member Nisar Durrani stated that the ECP would record witness statements during the next hearing. The ECP then adjourned the case to December 17.
