PTI Demands CJP Action on Security Agencies' Interference

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has demanded Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) to take immediate action in forming a full court to address the issue of alleged interference by the country's security agencies in judicial matters. This demand comes in response to a letter from six judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) outlining the meddling by the security apparatus.

The PTI spokesperson criticized the CJP for not taking decisive steps in response to the judges' letter, calling the current actions insufficient and dangerous for the future of the judiciary. The spokesperson highlighted the seriousness of the issue, emphasizing that intelligence agencies' interference could undermine democracy in Pakistan.

Expressing disappointment over the CJP's reluctance to address the matter, the PTI spokesperson warned of the potential consequences of allowing spy agencies to interfere in state institutions. Referring to a public statement by the Commissioner of Rawalpindi, the spokesperson reiterated concerns about the erosion of democracy due to intelligence agencies' actions.

PTI's stance on judicial independence dates back to the 2008 general elections when the party boycotted the polls to uphold the judiciary's autonomy. The spokesperson emphasized the party's commitment to safeguarding the judiciary's role in upholding the rule of law in Pakistan.

In conclusion, PTI continues to press for a full court to investigate the alleged interference by intelligence agencies, citing the critical importance of preserving democracy and the rule of law in the country.
