ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) asked the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday for permission to hold protests in support of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial.
PTI leader and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced nationwide rallies in favor of the CJP.
According to PTI petition, the Islamabad district administration has denied permission for a public rally in Islamabad tomorrow (May 6) to express sympathy with the CJP.
The IHC has requested that the DC issue orders provide security for the march and to stop ‘harassing’ peaceful PTI workers.
On Thursday, former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan urged Pakistanis to show their support for the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) on May 6, Saturday, as a mafia is targeting him.
In a special speech to the general public, PTI workers, and supporters before departing for Islamabad from Zaman Park to appear before the IHC, Imran Khan stated that the ruling coalition was attempting to avoid elections, which was contrary to the Pakistan Constitution and the CJP.
Such factors, he added, were causing a schism among Supreme Court justices.
