Peshawar, Sept. 9 (TNS): A local court in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) on Sunday summoned Prime Minister Imran Khan for the second time in a defamation case filed by former lawmaker Fauzia Bibi over horse-trading allegations levelled by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief against her.
In June, Fauzia filed the Rs500 million lawsuit in response to allegations of ‘selling’ her vote during Senate elections held earlier this year. Maintaining that the PTI failed to submit evidence in this regard, the former MPA claims the party damaged her political career by insinuating horse-trading accusations.
The district and sessions court sent the first notice to PM Imran’s Bani Gala residence on June 20. The second notice has been sent to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat and his residence.
