"...an attempt was made to kill justice at the hands of a biased and morally corrupt judge. The trial judge with blindfolds of bias blindfolded the facts of the case with a specific agenda. Sessions Court's decision is the worst example of political revenge and engineering. A shameful invasion of the Republic and democracy was made through a flawed, ridiculous and without solid legal basis decision. Humayun Dilawar's decision is a desperate attempt to achieve the shameful goals of a level playing field under the London Plan," the PTI said in a statement posted on X, earlier called Twitter. 

Following his arrest, Imran Khan has been shifted to the Kotlalkpat Jail in Lahore. He has been sentenced to three years in prison.
