Salman Safdar’s legal expertise secures PTI founder’s release: Haleema Khan

Islamabad: Haleema Khan, a close associate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, expressed her astonishment and relief at his release, attributing the success to the remarkable efforts of lead defence lawyer Salman Safdar. She praised Safdar for his unwavering courage and skill in handling one of the most high-profile and contentious legal battles in recent history.

In a statement to the media, Haleema Khan said, “I still can’t believe the release has happened. Salman Safdar displayed incredible bravery and legal acumen in fighting this case. His dedication provided us with much-needed hope and strength throughout this ordeal.”

Haleema further shared her cautious optimism during the proceedings, noting that despite the court’s favourable decision, she repeatedly confirmed whether bail had indeed been granted, given the ongoing legal challenges surrounding the PTI leader.

She also highlighted the broader context of the case, stating, “Imran Khan has been repeatedly targeted and arrested in multiple cases. This victory is significant, but many legal battles still lie ahead.”

The decision has been met with jubilation among PTI supporters, who view it as a step towards justice amidst what they perceive as politically motivated trials. Salman Safdar’s performance in court has been widely recognised, solidifying his reputation as one of the leading defence lawyers in Pakistan.

However, political analysts caution that Imran Khan’s legal troubles are far from over, with numerous cases still pending. As PTI strategises its next steps, the party’s leadership remains focused on navigating the challenges ahead.
