PTI annoyed at ‘inordinate’ delay in taking up of Imran’s appeals

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Core Committee Thursday strongly condemned, what it called, the fabricated and politically motivated cases against founder chairman Imran Khan and asked for an order for his immediate release from ‘unlawful confinement’. The forum was given a comprehensive briefing pertaining to the current status of cases against PTI founder chairman by the party’s legal team.

The committee discussed various issues, especially the ‘inordinate delay’ of appeals in cases against Imran Khan and safety and security of his spouse Bushra Bibi. The forum made it clear that the state’s intentions to subject Imran to political vendetta was fully evident from the unfair/ speedy trial in fabricated cases like Toshakhana and cipher, wherein he was handed down sentences in a hasty manner.

The PTI core committee expressed it annoyance over the unnecessary and unjustifiable tactics to delay the appeals against these “black” decisions of the courts. The participants demanded that all the cases against Imran Khan should be proceeded in accordance with the Constitution and law, and orders should be issued for his release by ending all these “false and fabricated” cases forthwith.

The committee voiced serious concerns on threats to the health and life of his spouse Bushra Bibi, strongly denouncing her detention in Banigala sub jail against her will by endangering her life.

The forum called for providing fool-proof security to the former first lady and immediately dealing with threats to her health and life.
