Raeesah Khan Faces Intense Cross-Examination in Pritam Singh Trial

Former Workers' Party member Raeesah Khan admits to lying in parliament as she testifies in trial against party leader Pritam Singh.

Raeesah Khan admitted to lying in parliament about accompanying a rape victim to a police station, a falsehood that led to a Committee of Privileges inquiry.
Pritam Singh, the Workers' Party secretary-general, is accused of lying to the Committee of Privileges about his knowledge of Khan's false anecdote.
Khan expressed feeling 'defeated and betrayed' by party leaders during disciplinary panel sessions, suggesting they had guided her on the false anecdote.
The cross-examination by Singh's lawyer focused on Khan's repeated lies and her interactions with Singh, questioning her credibility.
Khan resigned from the Workers' Party and as a Member of Parliament in November 2021, citing a lack of support from party leadership.
