Imran Khan urges people to be ready for protection of Cons, democracy

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan urged people of Pakistan especially lawyers community to be ready to come out in streets for protection of Rule of Law, the Constitution and democracy, as the PMLN seemed all-set to launch 1997 like attack on Supreme Court (SC) and Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) because they were petrified of elections.

In a statement on Friday, PTI Chairman said that as PMLN did in 1997 by storming apex court to attack the then Chief Justice of Pakistan Sajjad Ali Shah hearing a contempt petition against Nawaz Sharif, PMLN is again threatening SC and CJP today because they were petrified of elections.

“I want people of Pakistan to be ready to come out in streets if need be to save Rule of Law, the Constitution and democracy,” he added. Imran Khan stated: “We will be talking to all those political parties who are prepared to stand up against this conspiracy. I especially appeal to Lawyers community to again take the lead as they did in 2007 Lawyers Movement to protect Pakistan’s Constitution and Rule of Law.
