Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, praised the Supreme Court’s (SC) decision in the election suo motu case on Wednesday and declared the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” suspended. He also stated that the party would continue its election campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab.
“We applaud the SC ruling. After the Supreme Court ordered that elections be held in the provinces within 90 days, the former prime minister remarked, “It was the duty of SC to preserve the Constitution and they have gallantly done so via their judgement today.
In a split decision today, the Supreme Court directed the governor KP to declare a date for the election in the province while also directing the president to meet with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and set a date for elections in Punjab.
That is an assertion of the rule of law in Pakistan, according to Imran Khan, whose party was one of the petitioners in the election delay lawsuit.
We are continuing our Jail Bharo election campaigns while stopping our Jail Bharo movement.
Fawad Chaudhry, the head of the PTI, had said earlier in the day that the verdict supported their position.
It’s actually a unanimous decision, as Judge Mansoor Ali Shah said, “The Supreme Court shouldn’t have taken suo motu notice on it when the Lahore High Court had taken up the subject and determined that the elections should be held in 90 days.” said Chauhdry.
He thus concurs with our position. Moreover, the Constitution has won.
In the meantime, Fawad stated that the president has been requested to announce the election in Punjab while the governor is directed to determine the polling date in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, preventing Awami Muslim League chairman Sheikh Rashid from appearing outside the supreme court following the ruling.
