LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Monday reiterated he is not appearing before courts due to ‘security threats’, ARY News reported.
In his statement, Imran Khan said he has no trust on the incumbent government and asked the Supreme Court (SC) to ensure his security during his appearances in the court.
He also gave suggestions to club his all cases and conduct virtual hearing, if the government is unable to give him security.
Imran Khan said same thing happened in India, where cases of the prime ministers were clubbed and heard under a single roof.
