Pritam Singh's Trial Highlights Raeesah Khan's Contradictory Testimony

The defense challenges former MP Raeesah Khan's statements as Singh faces charges of misleading parliament.

Pritam Singh is contesting charges of lying in parliament during a Committee of Privileges hearing related to Raeesah Khan's false statements.
Raeesah Khan, a former Workers' Party MP, admitted to lying in parliament about a police station visit with a rape victim, a claim that triggered the current trial.
Defense lawyer Andre Jumabhoy argues that Khan did not need Singh's directive to tell the truth, highlighting her experience and previous actions.
The defense attempts to impeach Khan's credibility by pointing out discrepancies between her police statements and court testimony.
Khan maintains that Singh's ambiguous advice led her to continue her false narrative, despite Singh's prior email warning of serious consequences for lying.
