PTI to approach SC against alleged rigging: Marwat

Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat has said that the party will approach the Supreme Court against the “biggest theft of mandate in Pakistan’s history”.

The decision was made after consulting with PTI founder Imran Khan in Adiala Jail on Thursday.

He said the case will be filed under the jurisdiction of Article 184(3).

“We request the nation to watch these proceedings meticulously and see what treatment is given to us there,” said Marwat while speaking to media.

He claimed that there was a “lack of justice in courts” these days.

“Those who approach courts for justice are either picked up or chased out and then they are made an example for others,” Marwat added.

Moreover, he said that the party would file petitions in large numbers.

Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi detention

Moreover, he said that PTI would move to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the treatment meted out to Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in detention.

Marwat claimed that the duo had not met each other for two weeks. “All these tactics were aimed at mentally torturing Imran Khan.”

He warned that they would emerge as a strong opposition if their “stolen seats” were not returned.

“The PML-N and PPP have announced that they have distributed positions but we want to tell the nation that they if sit in the government with our mandate and if we are forcefully made to sit in the opposition, then they won’t be able to run the country in peace,” he said.

Taking a jab at Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) candidate for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, he said that the former would find himself in a “queue of lions”.

“And if you impose a certified thief like Zardari on the respectful position of the president, then it will be an insult to Pakistan,” he added.
