ISLAMABAD: PTI leader Shahbaz Gill on Monday approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the sedition case filed against him, saying the sedition case was filed just to satisfy political agenda of federal government.
Seeking dismissal of the case lodged against him, Shahbaz Gill in his plea said the case is based on malice.
“Islamabad Police registered the case to show its loyalty to the government. The case was filed just to satisfy the political agenda of the federal government,” the plea stated.
Earlier, the IHC issued a notice to Gill on the federal government’s plea against the rejection of an extension in his physical remand sought under a separate plea in a sedition case.
Islamabad Advocate-General Jahangir Jadoon on Saturday (August 13), pleaded to the court to rule out the district and sessions court’s decision and grant an extension in Gill’s physical remand.
Gill was arrested last Tuesday afternoon from Banigala Chowk in the capital a day after making controversial remarks on a private TV channel. He was subsequently booked on charges of sedition and inciting members of state institutions against the Pakistan Army.
