Barrister Gohar in his response remained adamant on the number and said that according to the details available to him, 12 people have died so how could we say that a large number of people have died without verification?

However, Aleema Khan remained insistent and questioned Gohar sarcastically, “Do you even know how many people are missing? Did you even visit the houses of the deceased”?

Barrister Gohar replied we have established teams and are working on finding the exact number and we just cannot say that thousands of people have been killed. Salman Akram Raja also agreeing with Barrister Gohar asked Aleema Khan to stop claiming that even those who are in jail and appearing before the court as ‘missing’.
