‘He shouldn’t have said that,’ Imran Khan distances himself from Shahbaz Gill’s remark

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has distanced himself from Shahbaz Gill’s controversial remarks.

There was an objectionable sentence in Shahbaz Gill’s statement. “He shouldn’t have said that,” he stressed.

It is being reported that Gill reportedly made a confession during interrogation. According to Geo News, Gill said, “I think I did not give the statement in digression from the party’s policy. I gave the statement after contemplation.”

Gill was taken into custody by the Islamabad police officers for inciting the public against state institutions, on August 9. 

Police said the inquiry regarding at whose behest Shahbaz Gill gave the statement is underway.

Police also said that the phone recovered from Gill was a dummy set. His phone was taken away by his driver while he was being arrested, said police.
