LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday fixed for hearing on June 10 a plea filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan against Punjab Cabinet’s decision to file serious cases against the former prime minister.
A two-member bench headed by Justice Farooq Haider will hear the petition on June 10.
The court has directed the Punjab government to submit its reply. PTI founder Imran Khan has challenged the cabinet’s decision to file cases, in the Lahore High Court.
In May, the Punjab Cabinet of Maryam Nawaz had approved a ‘fresh legal action’ (new cases) against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran
Khan and other party leaders for their alleged involvement in manufacturing a ‘narrative of hate’ against state institutions, especially the army.
Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari, addressing a presser after the cabinet meeting, said the Punjab cabinet had approved a legal action against former prime minister Imran Khan and his other party leaders for building hate-narrative against the state institutions.
