Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has instructed his legal team to file petitions in the Supreme Court concerning the events purportedly occurring on May 9, as reported by The Express Tribune. The petitions aim to retrieve CCTV footage from military installations, investigate the deaths of 16 PTI workers, and clarify statements made by caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar. Khan, addressing concerns about the alleged theft of CCTV footage depicting his arrest, labeled the incident as part of the “London plan.”

Amidst demands for an apology from Pakistan’s army chief regarding the May 9 incidents, Khan has refused to concede, asserting that the onus should not be on him to apologize but rather on those implicating him.
