  • Petitioner of initial plea seeking Aamir Liaquat’s postmortem approaches SHC.
  • Mother of Hussain’s third wife Dania Malik also appears in court.
  • SHC issues notices to Aamir Liaquat’s daugher, Dania and others.

The case of deceased televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s postmortem is back in court as the petitioner of the initial plea seeking exhumation and an autopsy approached the Sindh High Court (SHC) with the same demand again.

A district and sessions judge had overruled the decision to conduct Aamir Liaquat’s post-mortem, which had been made by another judge of the same court.

However, the petitioner of the initial plea for autopsy, who is a citizen filed a similar plea in the SHC again.

The mother of Aamir Liaquat’s third wife Dania Malik also appeared in court.

At the outset of the hearing, SHC judge Salahuddin Panhwar inquired from the petitioner what his relationship was with the deceased TV host.

“How could you approach the court when you aren’t one of the heirs of the deceased?” the judge rebuked the petitioner when he said that he is a common citizen.

At this, the petitioner maintained that the police also want to perform an autopsy to determine the cause of Aamir Liaquat’s death.

“There are judgements of the SHC in similar cases,” he said.

The court directed the petitioner to present a reference to the said judgements, and later issued notices to Aamir Liaquat’s daughter Dua Aamir, Sindh prosecutor-general and Dania for August 29. Moreover, it also summoned the Brigade Police Station SHO in personal capacity.

Aamir Liaquat’s daughter Dua Aamir had challenged a magistrate’s decision to perform an autopsy in the SHC, but it directed her to take the matter back to the sessions court, saying a high court cannot be approached directly in the case.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not allowed to use the resources of the Provincial Government for a party protest, according to the Interior Ministry.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
