- PTI Spokesperson asks whether nation would have to wait for half-century to get rights to fair trial for PTI founder
- Demands instant release of unlawfully detained leaders, workers
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Spokesperson raised a question that whether the nation would have to wait for a half-century to get the fundamental and constitutional rights to a fair trial for their beloved unlawfully incarcerated leader Imran Khan after Supreme Court (SC) took 50-long-year to establish the fact that the late prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto did not get a chance to a fair trial.
Reacting to the apex court’s opinion on the long-pending presidential reference regarding the trial, sentence, and execution of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the PTI Spokesperson lamented that the top court had to take 50 years to reach to the conclusion that the requirements of a fair trial and due process were not fulfilled under the judgment against the PPP founder.
The Spokesperson asked that as the court took around 50 years in the case of Bhutto, now the nation would have to wait for 50 years to get the fundamental and constitutional rights to a fair trial for their beloved leader and PTI Chairman-for-life Imran Khan, who was illegally imprisoned in fake, frivolous and politically-motivated cases.
The PTI Spokesperson emphasized that the judicial opinion in the presidential reference in case of Bhutto could only be meaningful and impactful if the apex court acted with full force to stop the widespread lawlessness and take instant practical steps for ensuring supremacy of the constitution and rule of law in the country.
The PTI leader made it clear that it was a universal principle that “Justice delayed is justice denied” adding that “delay in justice is also a murder of justice.”
The PTI Spokesperson demanded that thousands of innocent workers and PTI leaders including Imran Khan and his wife should be immediately released from unjust and unlawful imprisonment and all the false, bogus and fabricated cases framed against them should be decided through fair trials.
