ISLAMABAD, Oct 04 (DNA): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf senior leader and
former finance minister Asad Umar said on Wednesday that PTI chief would
be exonerated in all cases and his party would actively take part in
elections.

Reacting to PML-N supremo’s hocmecoming and Maryam Nawaz’s public
gathering in Lahore,  former federal minister Asad Umar whilel talking
to media persons outside an anti-terrorism court, said it was not a mass
rally rather a small gathering of people. “It’s not fair to call it a
Jalsa (big gathering), it was a Jalsi (small gathering),” said Umar.

He said thank God Nawaz Sharif was successful in getting some medicine
for his disease after three years.

“He (Nawaz) should have come back much earlier. He should be sent to
jail upon his return,” said Umar.

Earlier, a special court set up under the Official Secrets Act had
accepted the pre-arrest bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader
Asad Umar against Rs50,000 surety bond in the cipher case. Special
Prosecutor Shah Khawar intervened when Asad’s lawyer Salman Safdar was
arguing the case and told the court that there was no evidence of his
involvement in the case. So his arrest was not required in the case.

Advocate Babar Awan requested the court to confirm Asad’s bail if FIA
did not have any evidence against him. Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain
accepted his plea and announced decision in the court. DNA
