- Demands CJP to ensure Imran Khan’s fundamental right to fair trial
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Core Committee on Tuesday expressed strong resentment over Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) unnecessary adjournment of the party Chairman Imran Khan’s plea against the trial court verdict in Tosha Khana case and decided to file a reference in the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against IHC Chief Justice Justice Amir Farooq.
PTI core committee strongly condemned the adjournment of the trial till Thursday under a malicious plan to prolong PTI Chairman’s captivity so as to subject him of vindictive actions and inhuman treatment in the jail.
In the meeting, they demanded the Chief Justice IHC to recuse himself from the trial immediately and transfer the case to another bench because he made law and justice a joke.
The PTI Core Committee stated that the facilitator of criminals and a person overwhelmed by prejudice was neither eligible to sit on the post of Chief Justice, nor he could be entrusted with the most sensitive responsibility of providing justice.

They went on to say that a person lacking professional integrity and moral converted his court into a slaughterhouse of justice and a base of political engineering.
PTI Core Committee stated that disregarding all moral and legal requirements, the head of the country’s largest political party was punished under his nose by biased and prejudiced judge.
The participants of the meeting said that the SC ordered him to deal with the case on merit, however he in league with the fascists murdered the justice at the threshold of its court.
In the meeting, they said that instead of protecting the honor of High Court on the violent and unlawful arrest of a petitioner from court room seeking bail on May 9, the puppet was trying to give shameful acceptance to the armed attack on the court.
PTI Core Committee pleaded that the delay in justice was tantamount to murder of justice and Chief Justice IHC was a key facilitator in this regard, adding that the only purpose of delaying the matter was to prolong the ordeals and sufferings of PTI Chairman in jail.
They demanded that the Chief Justice of Pakistan should take notice of the decision-making style of the Chief Justice IHC in order to protect the sanctity the honorable House.
The PTI Core Committee decided to file a reference in the SJC against Justice Amir Farooq in order to ensure the concept of independent judiciary.
They demanded that the CJP should ensure protection of the fundamental right of fair trial of Imran Khan under Article 10-A of the Constitution.
