On Monday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) filed a constitutional challenge contesting the decision not to include the names of the three suspects named by party chairman Imran Khan in the FIR over the horrific gun assault on him.
Senior PTI leader and Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi, along with Usman Buzdar, Shafqat Mehmood, and other legislators, submitted the petition in Lahore.
The application was presented by the former chief minister of Punjab, Buzdar, to the Deputy Registrar Supreme Court, Ejaz Goraya, who accepted it and assigned a diary number.
The party also asked the court to punish those responsible for the Azam Swati tragedy and to provide justice for Arshad Sharif’s family.
In the appeal, the former governing party asked the Supreme Court to appoint a judicial committee and to take suo motu notice of the situation.
The formation of a judicial panel is recommended. The PTI vice chairman told reporters in Lahore, “we think a lot of important events have taken place and a probe needs to be carried out.”
Additionally, he said that the people of this nation want truthful information.
PTI has petitioned the Karachi Registry of the Supreme Court to look into a number of instances, and 26 MNAs and MPAs have signed those petitions.
The petition’s major argument was that a judicial investigation into the attacks on Imran Khan and Azam Swati, as well as the killing of newscaster Arshad Sharif, was warranted.
Also filing a plea with the Supreme Court’s Peshawar Registry were Deputy Speaker Mehmood Jan, Provincial Ministers Atif Khan, Shaukat Yousafzai, Kamran Bangash, Dr. Amjad, Senator Usman Tarkai, and female Members of Parliament.
The cricketer-turned-politician was attacked on November 3 during his “Haqeeqi Azadi March” in the Wazirabad region of Punjab, however, the FIR was not filed as the complainant had requested.
