The accused Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi have faced justified cross-examinations in separate corruption cases. The defense counsels’ attempts to delay the proceedings were unsuccessful. Imran Khan expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of the trial and alleged that the proceedings are being conducted to favor a predetermined outcome. He also criticized the chief justice of Pakistan and accused him of undermining the general elections. Additionally, Imran Khan made allegations against former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and American diplomat Donald Lu. These controversial claims suggest that the legal battle is intensifying in this high-profile case.
