Pakistan

SARGODHA (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub said on Saturday the objective of meeting Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi was to apprise him of the country’s current situation.
Speaking to media outside the anti-terrorism court in Sargodha, he claimed that the party had informed the CJP about the issues plaguing the country.
“We hope there will be supremacy of constitution and law and order in the country,” he said.
He said the PTI leaders were embroiled in fake cases and there was no relief in sight.
Ayub, who is also opposition leader in National Assembly, said the PTI would formally hand over its suggestions on an effective judicial system to the chief justice of Pakistan. He said the party had a competent legal team.
He said the masses would continue to face frustration in the absence of a robust legal and judicial system.
He said the PTI leaders recently tried to meet Imran Khan in jail but the government twice denied the opportunity.
RARE MEETING WITH CJP
In a rare occasion, a delegation of five opposition members met Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi, where PTI leaders voiced their grievances regarding legal and political challenges the party had been facing.
Sources said the meeting took place at the chief justice’s residence and lasted an hour. The PTI leaders shared their grievances, including cases the party leaders had been facing.
Later, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar told a press conference that they informed the chief justice about the government’s failure to comply with court orders and the restrictions on PTI founder’s meetings with his wife.
The CJP also shared a 10-point agenda on judicial reforms.
Opposition Leader Omar Ayub mentioned that their delegation included top lawyers and discussed issues such as FIRs against PTI workers and alleged state repression.
PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja highlighted human rights violations and misuse of the judicial system.
He warned that if these concerns were not addressed, public protests would be inevitable.
