Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) President Shafqat Mehmood Chohan has termed Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s allegations baseless while addressing a LHCBA general house meeting on Friday.
The president said a dacoity incident took place at his residence and dacoits took away jewellery, prize bonds and other items.
He said after this incident, Imran had alleged that he (Shafqat) received 25 million from a political party. He said Imran leveled baseless allegations without any probe and it reduced his stature in eyes of the public.
Chohan said the lawyers always struggled for democracy and rule of law. He said the bar decided to file petition against any possible unconstitutional step after approval of the general house.
“Some sections disliked it and started my character assassination,” he added.
