He stated that bringing in four ad-hoc judges to the Supreme Court for a 3-year term during the court’s vacation period is an act of mala fide.
Leader of the Opposition of Pakistan Omar Ayub said that their allied party colleagues had held a symbolic march. They are demanding the release of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, and condemning the fabricated cases against them.
Ayub stated that a false case was registered against Bushra Bibi, for which she has been acquitted. He criticized the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team for framing false cases.
PTI leader Shibli Faraz said that PTI is the representative party of 70% of the country’s population. Any ban on PTI will be a countdown to the end of the government. PTI has been, is, and will remain a patriotic party.
