00:29expressed U.S. concern regarding the ban on Pakistan Terry Key and Sauf, PTI.
00:34He said that we have seen the government's statements regarding the banning of political
00:38parties in Pakistan.
00:39This is the beginning of a complicated political process.
00:42According to the spokesman, certainly, banning a political party is a matter of concern.

00:52the banning of Terry Key and Sauf, calling it the beginning of a complex political process.
00:58The Pakistani government has decided to ban former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party,
01:02Terry Key and Sauf, for which a reference will be sent to the Supreme Court.
01:06This announcement was made by Federal Information Minister Atala Terror in a press conference.
01:11While holding a press conference in Washington, Matthew Miller said, of course, banning a
01:16political party is a matter of concern.
01:18We support the peaceful observance of constitutional, democratic principles, including respect for
01:24human rights and freedom of expression.
01:26We support democratic processes and broader principles, including the rule of law and
01:31equal justice under the law, he added.

01:53In a press conference on Monday, Federal Minister for Information Atala Terror announced that
01:58the government will file a case of treason against Imran Khan, former President Arafat
02:02al-Bin and former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Qasim Suri under Article 6 of the
02:07Constitution.
02:08This decision has come at a time when three days ago the Supreme Court of Pakistan recognized
02:13PTI as a parliamentary party and decided to give reserved seats for women and minorities
02:17to PTI.
02:18The government has filed a review appeal against this decision.
02:22Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have also been acquitted in the case related to
02:26marriage during Eid, and after that the government has arrested Imran Khan in the NAB Tosha Khanna
02:31case and cases related to May 9th.
02:34The Anti-Terrorism Court of Lahore has accepted the request for physical remand of former
02:38Prime Minister and founder of Pakistan Tariqiyan SAF, PTI, Imran Khan and handed him over to
02:44the police on physical remand for 10 days.
02:47Anti-terrorism court judge Khalid Arshad delivered a safe verdict some time ago.
02:52It should be remembered that Imran Khan appeared in the Anti-Terrorism Court Lahore today through
02:56a WhatsApp video call in connection with the cases of violent protests on May 9th.
03:01Meanwhile, his lawyers objected to Imran Khan not appearing in his personal capacity.
03:06Judge Khalid Arshad asked the public prosecutor that why can't you present Imran Khan in court,
03:12to which he replied that he cannot be produced in the court due to security reasons.
03:17It is written in the supplementary report, the court had reserved judgment on this point
03:21which has now been pronounced.
03:23I did not commit these false allegations.
03:26In my 28-year political career, I have never been involved in violent incidents, Imran
03:31Khan told the court via video link, according to local journalist Wakas Awan.
03:36He added, my house was attacked.
03:38I called for a peaceful protest.
03:40A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court for a judicial inquiry into the May 9th riots.
03:46I have asked the Chief Justice of Pakistan to listen to our plea.
03:50Reminded, Imran Khan added, they say apologize to us.
03:55Instead of apologizing to you, I ask you to apologize, you have done wrong.
04:00According to Ali Arshad, a journalist present in the court, Imran Khan was on a WhatsApp
04:05call on his mobile phone for about two minutes and was arguing to the judge about the events
04:09of May 9th.
04:10Meanwhile, his lawyers objected to Imran Khan not appearing in his personal capacity.
04:15Lawyer Usman Riaz Ghul said that it is not possible that the accused is not present before
04:20the court and the process of his remand begins.
04:22Usman Riaz Ghul and Advocate Azza Siddique presented various old judgments in the court.
04:28Advocate Azza Siddique said that this court does not have this authority.
04:32Even if it does, it would be illegal.
04:34We object that it should first be determined whether such a hearing can be held or not.
04:39Judge Khalid Arshad asked the public prosecutor that, why can't you present Imran Khan in
04:44court?
04:45To which he replied that he cannot be produced in the court due to security reasons.
04:49It is written in the supplementary report.
