He was responding to earlier submissions from the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP), who stated that Khalid was using certain connections with politicians and other people on social media to amplify his story and paint it as part of a conspiracy.

Referencing remarks from several television presenters who were constantly reading charge sheets, Pais contended that Khalid was conveying the "correct narrative" and asserted that a brutal media trial was taking place against Khalid.

According to Pais, there is no evidence of a terror case against Khalid, nor do the police possess any data supporting this claim. He drew attention to inconsistencies in the prosecution witnesses' testimony.

Pais added that the high court has given bail to several accused individuals with responsibilities who had similar charges as Khalid, including Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita, and Asif Iqbal Tanha.
