ISLAMABAD:
A lower court in Islamabad on Thursday acquitted former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser in a case linked to the 2022 Azadi March.
Judicial Magistrate Abbas Shah announced the reserved verdict, approving the acquittal request submitted by Asad Qaiser in the Azadi March case.
The case was registered at Kohsar Police Station during the political protests led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf. Qaiser was among several party leaders accused of violating public order during the march.
During the hearing, Qaiser’s legal team argued that the charges were politically motivated and lacked sufficient evidence.
