PESHAWAR: PTI Senator Faisal Javed, who had been in hiding in the aftermath of the May 9 riots, resurfaced on Monday and secured transit bail from the Peshawar High Court (PHC).
Chief Justice Muhammad Ibrahim Khan granted reprieve to the PTI leader upon furnishing bail bonds worth Rs0.1 million and instructed him to present himself before the relevant court.
Speaking with reporters outside the court, Javed expressed confidence that the PTI founder would once again become the prime minister of Pakistan, saying that he intended to contest elections from Mianwali.
“God willing, he will become the prime minister of Pakistan again.” Faisal Javed went into hiding after the government launched a crackdown on the PTI in response to its violent riots of May 9 last year. –Agencies
