He further said that former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa revealed that “the court made decisions as per the direction of the wives”.
His remains are still in the judiciary and Khan trusts him, Maryam said, “Now he [Khan] has got the judicial establishment [asylum].”
He asked that who is protecting Imran Khan even today?
During the interaction with the delegation, the PML-N leader also said that the ousted prime minister had dissolved the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to spread chaos and disorder in the country.
Describing Khan as a “mental patient”, he said that the then Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi did not want to dissolve the provincial assembly.
