While Gohar did not give specifics, he called June 11 an “important day” for the couple.Khan, 72, has been jailed since August 2023 in multiple cases, including convictions that PTI alleges are politically motivated. The national accountability bureau (NAB) had earlier sought more time to prepare its arguments, prompting the IHC to adjourn the hearing to next week.PTI plans protest Gohar also revealed that PTI will launch a political movement in collaboration with opposition parties, led by Khan from inside prison.
