Omar Ayub said the court did not approve the request for suspension of sentence in the Iddat case.

“Justice was required in the case in which there is no complication. As this is the case was between husband and a wife,” Umar Ayub said.

He said PTI will immediately challenge the decision of the case in the IHC. He alleged that Shehbaz Sharif became prime minister on the ECP’s Form-47 but he was exposed in the National Assembly on Wednesday.

He demanded that the PTI founder and his wife Bushra Bibi along with other prisoners be released.

“Our (PTI) movement will move forward faster,” Umar Ayub told media persons in Islamabad.

The Islamabad District and Sessions Court has rejected the appeals of PTI Founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi against their conviction in the iddat nikah case.

District and Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka rejected the appeals for suspension of sentence in a reserved decision he pronounced on Thursday.

After the rejection of their appeals, the sentence of the couple remains in place. The PTI has announced to challenge the decision in the Islamabad High Court instantly.
