Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has criticised PTI chief Imran Khan for not appearing before the court despite his past statements committing to do so if a case was filed against him, and urged the former premier to uphold the rule of law and keep his own promises.

During a press conference in Islamabad, Iqbal accused Imran of “demonstrating fascism” despite his background as a sportsman. He emphasised that as a public figure, the former PM should be promoting sportsman spirit, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law, but instead, he has chosen to incite chaos and destruction in the country for his own protection.
