Islamabad (Web Desk): A banking court in Islamabad summoned Pakistan Terhreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former premier Imran Khan on February 28 in the prohibited funding case against him.
Judge Rakhshanda Shaheen conducted the proceedings on the case on Saturday.
During today’s hearing today, the legal team of Imran Khan submitted a copy of the order of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to the court.
The court adjourned its hearing and ordered the PTI chief to appear on February 28.
Earlier, the former premier approached the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and urged the investigation officer of the prohibited funding case to record his statement via a letter.
The PTI chief maintained that a case was lodged against him without inquiry, and that he is recovering from an assassination attempt.
Khan pointed out that he wrote letters to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Dec 3, Jan 30, and Feb 4, requesting them to record his statement through a video link or a letter.
The former premier said that he requested the FIA to send its team to Lahore for investigation and the agency assured the banking court to cooperate with him.
However, Imran Khan claimed, despite repeated requests, the FIA did not cooperate.
