ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday filed a constitutional petition in the Supreme Court, seeking judicial redress over alleged breaches of his party’s fundamental rights.
Khan in the petition, called for a judicial inquiry led by three senior Supreme Court judges to investigate what he claims are systematic anti-PTI actions that violate basic constitutional rights.
The petition urges the Court to issue directives for the restoration of PTI's fundamental rights. It also pleads an immediate halt to the misuse of Section 144 and detentions under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance. Khan further requested orders against the withholding of no-objection certificates (NOCs) for PTI meetings and gatherings.
