Imran Khan's crimes enough to keep him jailed: Pak Defence Minister

Islamabad: Imran Khan's crimes alone are enough to keep him behind bars, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said, as he dismissed the former prime minister's accusation that the government was pushing to amend the constitution to keep him in prison.

Khan, 71, has been in jail since August last year after



being convicted in some of the nearly 200 cases slapped on him since his ouster in April 2022.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder on Monday rejected the anticipated constitutional changes, claiming that it was an effort to keep him in prison by controlling the judiciary.
