Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said “it is difficult for him to support” the outcome of the Iddat case in which Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi were both sentenced to seven years in jail.

During an interview with Dawn News, Bilawal remarked that efforts made in the past to safeguard women’s rights may also be negatively impacted by the verdict.

“The way it is all running on the media, I do not want to get into this gutter,” he said.
