The Sword Case involves allegations against Prime Minister Imran Khan, accusing him of financial irregularities and seeking to scrutinize his assets. However, the proceedings have taken an unexpected turn as the court now restricts the trial by preventing key witnesses from testifying.

The lawyer’s remarks shed light on the contentious relationship between Imran Khan’s legal team and the accountability watchdog.

Such an alliance would have a considerable impact on the provincial political landscape and could play a pivotal role in the 2024 general elections.
