Founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has hit out at the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Qazi Faez Isa, for what he called ‘being in a hurry’ to fix the review of a judgement regarding reserved seats, emphasising that the PTI’s petition against human rights violations had been pending for months.
Khan talked with journalists in Adiala jail, expressing concerns that the CJP should rescue himself from all PTI-related petitions due to an alleged conflict of interest arising from CJP’s wife’s statements against the PTI leadership.
The former Prime Minister stated that the PTI workers are being tried in military courts and feared that he might also face the same situation concerning the May 9 cases.
As rumours abound in the country’s political sphere that there might be a technocratic set-up in the new future, however, Khan dismissed the idea, stressing that it would be better to impose a ‘martial law’ once and for all.
The former premier said that those who think a technocrat set-up would bring Pakistan out of the crisis “live in a fool’s paradise.”
