Khan went on to reportedly say: “You also get ready for it, we will also take action against you. The report against Khan includes testimony from Magistrate Judge Ali Javed, who described being at the Islamabad rally on Saturday and hearing Khan criticize the inspector-general of Pakistan’s police and another judge. Typically, police then arrest and question the accused. Under Pakistan’s legal system, police file what is known as a first information report about charges against an accused person to a magistrate judge, who allows the investigation to move forward. “We will take over Islamabad and my message to police is … don’t be part of this political war anymore,” warned Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, a former minister under Khan. The party has warned that it will hold nationwide rallies if Khan is arrested while working to try to squash the charges in court. Hundreds of Tehreek-e-Insaf members stood outside Khan’s home on Monday in a show of support as the former premier held meetings inside.
However, a court in Islamabad issued a so-called “protective bail” for Khan for the next three days, preventing police from arresting him over the charges, said Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a senior leader in his Tehreek-e-Insaf opposition party. Khan himself has not publicly spoken about the latest charges against him. The charges followed a speech Khan gave in Islamabad on Saturday in which he vowed to sue police officers and a female judge and alleged that a close aide had been tortured after his arrest. The practice allows power companies to pass through the cost of investing in poles and wires to consumers, encouraging costly over-investment.ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistani police have filed terrorism charges against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, authorities said Monday, escalating political tensions in the country as the ousted premier holds mass rallies seeking to return to office. Mr Sims told AM the ACCC's report showed that so-called "gold plating" was the biggest factor behind the power price increases. Price increased blamed on 'gold plating' of networks Take a look at what some of our readers had to say in the comments. We asked what you thought caused the increase in power prices. In recent weeks the Government has increasingly questioned the need to provide subsidies for renewable power and emphasised affordable power prices in a sign it is preparing to dump the CET proposal.Įnergy policy is due to be debated at tomorrow's Coalition partyroom meeting. Several conservative Coalition MPs have also questioned the modelling underpinning Dr Finkel's proposal. The comments are likely to deal the troubled policy a death blow. "The Clean Energy Target involves a subsidy which has to be paid for, which is smeared across all users, so it there's pluses and minuses," Mr Sims said. He added the proposal came with costs that also needed to be considered. Mr Sims told AM a CET "might" encourage more investment into power generation "although I suspect that generation will come in anyway". Dr Finkel's modelling showed a CET would lower power prices by subsidising investment in clean power generation, increasing the supply of electricity.
