PTI Announces Rally for Independence of Judiciary & Release of Imran
Rawalpindi: PTI leaders Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Sher Afzal Marwat and Faisal Javed, have announced the party decision to organize, what they termed as the "country's biggest rally," in Peshawar on Sunday.
The rally, slated to commence at 2 pm, aims to uphold the independence of the judiciary and the release of "prisoner number 804," PTI founder Imran Khan who is currently incarcerated in the Adiala Jail.
The announcement comes in the wake of seismic developments within the judicial circles, precipitated by a letter penned by six Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). The missive unearthed allegations of undue interference by intelligence agencies in judicial affairs, a revelation that sent shockwaves across the legal and political landscape.
Barrister Gohar Ali Khan disclosed that he had engaged in a 45-minute dialogue with Imran Khan, marking their first interaction following the release of the judges' letter. Expressing profound dismay over the contents of the letter, Gohar underscored Imran Khan's commitment to upholding the sanctity of the judiciary, asserting that the PTI founder remains deeply perturbed by attempts to manipulate judicial processes.
Addressing the media, Gohar elucidated Imran Khan's directive to PTI workers, encouraging them to utilize social media platforms to highlight instances of oppression, urging individuals to share their narratives through vlogs, thereby amplifying voices against injustice.
Gohar revealed Imran Khan's intent to dispatch a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, outlining the intricacies of his legal proceedings amidst the ongoing judicial imbroglio. Emphasizing PTI's unwavering allegiance to judicial independence, Gohar reiterated Imran Khan's resolve to stand as a steadfast advocate for justice.
Sher Afzal Marwat, echoing Gohar's sentiments, declared the forthcoming rally as a monumental event in the party's crusade for judicial autonomy. Marwat extended invitations to all political entities, inviting their participation in the rally as a unified demonstration of support for the cause.
In addition to the Peshawar rally, Marwat disclosed plans for a grand gathering at the Islamabad Parade Ground on April 6, following the conclusion of Teraweeh prayers.
Faisal Javed echoed the sentiment, expressing elation over the opportunity to convene with the PTI founder and stressing the paramount importance of mobilising public support for the release of "prisoner number 804" and the broader movement for judicial independence. – The Express Tribune
