'Let the public decide'
PTI chief Imran Khan said on Wednesday his ‘Haqeeqi Azadi Movement’ would continue till the announcement of free and fair elections in the country.
Addressing a large number of participants on day 6 of the long march, Imran said one should not think that this march would conclude after reaching Islamabad, adding that his movement would continue for even 10 months.
Imran again referred to the recent presser of the ISI chief, saying: “If you have decided to remain neutral then what is stopping you from holding free and fair elections.”
He said: “Let the public decide who will govern Pakistan.”
Violation of May 25 verdict irks SC
A day earlier, Supreme Court majority judges expressed that they were “disappointed” with the PTI leadership for breaching the court's trust by violating its May 25, 2022 order, wherein the party’s “Azadi March” was restricted from reaching Islamabad’s D-Chowk.
Even during the hearing of the presidential reference on Wednesday, Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial said the judges were “deeply disturbed” that the court's trust was breached.
Senior lawyers, who witnessed the court proceedings, said the PTI leadership had “embarrassed” the judges, who were so generous and protected the party's activists from coercive actions taken by the PML-N-led federal and Punjab governments on May 25.
