Pakistan Defence
PTI jaangleez have habit to exaggerate things but they always forget about their traitor Imran khan. Imran khan testified and defended terrorist leader of BLA in UK court. I know you guys are shameless and you will defend IK even after this but at least demand apology from him
FORMER cricket superstar Imran Khan yesterday gave his support to two terror suspects accused of encouraging guerrilla warfare in Pakistan. Giving evidence at a London terror trial, the sportsman-turned-politician said had he been in the same position as the two men in the dock he would have been prepared to take up arms.
He told the court he would have been willing to use violence against the Pakistan government if he had been from the country’s poorest province of Baluchistan, where he said the army had killed and kidnapped citizens, made 75,000 homeless, rigged elections and controlled the courts.
Imran, chairman of the Movement For Justice political party in Pakistan, was giving evidence during the trial of two Baluchi men.
The pair are accused of encouraging acts of violence against former dictator General Musharraf’s government from their London base.
Hyrbair Marri, 40, of Ealing, and Faiz Baluch, 27, of Wembley deny assisting terrorism and inciting murder abroad. The trial continues.
London, Jan 9 (ANI): Former Pakistani cricket captain and Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan has told a British court that he supported the right for people to take up arms against their government if there was no longer any other democratic alternative for them to pursue.
Khan made the remarks at the trial at Woolwich Crown Court of Faiz Balochi and Hyrbair Marri, who deny inciting murder in Pakistan, The Independent reports.
Balochi, 27, and his co-defendant, Hyrbair Marri, 40, are on trial at Woolwich Crown Court accused of gathering information to help the Baluchistan Liberation Army, which is proscribed in Britain, and inciting murder in Pakistan via websites from their homes in London.
Asked by Balochi's defence counsel, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, whether the people of Balochistan had "other avenues" besides military to "assert the will of the people", Khan replied: "Absolutely not. In Balochistan there was military action going on, [so] there was no way of redressing the people's grievances."
