Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appeared via video link before a Lahore Sessions Court on Saturday in connection with his Rs10 billion defamation suit against PTI founder Imran Khan. The session was overseen by Additional Sessions Judge Yilmaz Ghani.
Taking the oath remotely, PM Shehbaz pledged to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” He also recited the religious text of the oath, stating that any concealment on his part would invite Allah’s displeasure.

During the cross-examination, Imran Khan’s legal counsel, Advocate Muhammad Hussain Chotya, questioned whether the prime minister had a copy of the defamation suit in hand. PM Shehbaz admitted he did not and requested a short adjournment while his legal team arranged for a copy.
The court allowed the brief recess. The case revolves around allegations made by Imran Khan, which Shehbaz Sharif claims were baseless and damaging to his reputation.
