'Puppet being used to defame Pakistan globally,' Sanaullah slams Imran for hiring UK lawyer
[GEO.TV] Amid reports that former prime minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
hired a UK-based lawyer to represent him in international courts, Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and ex-interior minister Rana Sanaullah said Sunday that a "puppet is being used to defame Pakistain globally".
"That's OUR job!"
"Going to the International Court of Justice means making Pakistain stand in the global dock as a criminal," the senior PML-N leader said adding that only enemies of Pakistain could do this despicable act.

On September 1, Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) announced on its official X — formerly known as Twitter — account: "PTI chairman and former PM Imran Khan has appointed the eminent human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
Barrister Geoffrey Robertson KC of Doughty Street Chambers to advise and represent him in international courts in relation to unlawful detention and human rights abuses."

A PTI source in Islamabad said that the decision to hire Robertson was taken by Khan on the advice of Omar Ayub Khan, Zulfi Bukhari and his lawyers in Pakistain after consulting "some important people in the UK".

Subsequently, on September 2, PTI revoked the services of Geoffrey Robertson KC after backlash and severe criticism in the media.

Doughty Street Chambers said it has been told by PTI that Robertson’s services will not be required due to criticism in Pakistain.

In a statement today, Sanaullah took a jibe at Khan saying the "blue-eyed" of the judicial system did not need to go abroad.

"Who is spending money on Imran Niazi?" the former interior minister asked. "Those he works for are trying to save him. First, they made him a hero, gave him foreign funding and brought him to power after which Pakistain’s economy and foreign relations were destroyed."

He further said that the path to civil war was paved through inflation whereas the minds of the youth were filled with "gunpowder so that could attack when and where they wanted".

Furthermore, Sanaullah said that occupants of Paleostine and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
(IIOJK) were jubilant when they found out that Pakistain would be taken to international court.

As soon as PTI announced it had hired Robertson there was a lot of criticism in the media that the lawyer has been involved in campaigns against the Pak military, propagating false theories about the 1971 war and the breakup of Bangladesh from Pakistain.

In August, PTI announced it revoked engagements of UK solicitor Rashad Yaqoob, his organization Human Rights Legal Aid Foundation (HRLAF) and Azhar Siddique, the Pakistain Supreme Court lawyer who is now based in Manchester.
