The political landscape in Pakistan is currently witnessing significant legal proceedings involving the leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. On February 9, 2026, the Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court, presided over by Judge Tahir Abbas Supra, formally charged PTI leaders Rauf Hassan and Ahmad Waqas Janjua with alleged connections to terrorist activities. According to the Pakistan News Index, both leaders appeared in court alongside their legal representative, Ayesha Khalid, and denied the charges, rejecting the allegations outright. The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 23, 2026, and has summoned prosecution witnesses to testify. This development is part of a broader legal challenge facing PTI, as the party grapples with accusations that could have significant political ramifications.
