On day two of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-(PTI) Insaf’s “Haqeeqi Azadi March,” PTI leader Azam Swati was subjected to “custodial torture,” and former prime minister and PTI supremo Imran Khan on Saturday pleaded with Pakistan’s Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial to uphold those rights.
Imran Khan requests the Chief Justice of Pakistan to uphold fundamental rights in PTI’s lengthy march
“I should let you know why, at the age of 70, I’m living on the streets. You are like my children, and I only march because I want you to be educated and understand what true freedom is “The former prime minister made this statement while speaking to long marchers in Shahdara, Lahore.
The PTI chairman claimed that when he denounced Shahbaz Gill’s abuse, a complaint was brought against him. He also added that he had fought torture while in custody. Azam Swati wouldn’t have been so harsh to make him consider suicide if anything had been done back then.
“It is your responsibility, Chief Justice Sahib, to defend the most basic rights. The whole country is looking at you. Around the world, there are initiatives against incarceration torture. If not you, chief justice sahib, who would defend our fundamental rights? “asked he.
Imran Khan went on to say: “I’m pleading with you now, Chief Justice, to hear Azam Swati’s appeal. Prove that we live in a society of people rather than animals. Justice exists in human society. Justice is something we are entitled to.”
Imran Khan, a former prime minister, claimed a day earlier that the establishment’s backing is the reason the government is still in power.
The former prime minister claimed, that the country’s leadership and cabinet of thieves are dealing with corruption charges while simultaneously failing to stabilise the economy and address problems with governance.
He continued, “We do not want meddling from anyplace. Our sole goal is elections.
Imran Khan continued by saying that the leaders want to have secret talks with us and submit to the US.
The PTI chairman added that he brought a neutral umpire in the 200-year history of cricket while reiterating that his party doesn’t seek anyone’s assistance.
“I tried to introduce Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) for fair and transparent elections, but the current leaders did not allow these reforms to pass,” he claimed.
“Our only demand is that only free, fair, and transparent elections be held throughout the nation, and that the outcome be recognised by everybody.” Imran Khan responded that the party has just recently started in response to a query about the sit-in.
