A Lahore district court has reserved its verdict on the Anti-Corruption Establishment’s (ACE) plea seeking a 14-day physical remand of PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in a corruption case. During the hearing presided by Judicial Magistrate Ghulam Murtaza government counsel Ghulam Salahuddin asserted that the remand was required as further investigation was needed to be conducted from Elahi. Meanwhile, Elahi’s counsel Advocate Rana Intizar argued that none of the “fake and bogus documents” that his client had allegedly prepared were presented to the court.

Meanwhile talking informally to reporters at a Lahore district court, PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has reiterated that he is in the party and will remain in it. He said, “I will not hold any conference. The root of all this disturbance is Mohsin Naqvi. I did not make any political cases against anyone. The one having this atrocity done to me is Mohsin Naqvi.” “God-willing, I am in the PTI and will remain in it. They (the government) are doing evil and will suffer the same,” he added.
