In his opinion, the case against Shahbaz Gul has been made by the federal government for political revenge, his client's speech is a patriotic speech, some parts of it have been removed. He said that his client gave a long answer to the question asked on TV, in which some things were said wrongly.
He said that according to the prosecution, Shahbaz Gul has admitted his speech, then what is left. He further said that the prosecution's position is that Shahbaz Gul spoke at someone's behest, whereas the reality is that TV anchors call political leaders on TV every day and they speak every day, in which some things are wrong. They can, but they are not in rebellion, conspiracy or crime. Lawyer Safai said that the prosecution needs Shahbaz Gul's physical remand to reach the co-accused.
