"My father is very hopeful and seeing justice being done in the country," the PTI leader said, adding that the bravery showed by six judges of the IHC boosted the courage of her father -- who alongside the party founder Imran Khan is facing 10-year jail term in the cypher case.
It reported citing sources, that the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) has noted key developments in the investigation of the matter after the forensic report of the handwriting in the letters was received by them.
Notably, at least 10 judges of the Supreme Court including Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, eight judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and five of the Lahore High Court (LHC) have received the suspicious letters.
Justice Najafi became the sixth judge to receive a letter, as at least five LHC judges were sent threatening letters, creating fear in the judiciary. Additionally, four Supreme Court judges and eight Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges including its chief justice received letters.
PTI organized a rally in Quetta on April 4 for the release of its founding chairman, Imran Khan, and to demonstrate solidarity with the six judges of the Islamabad High Court, affirming, 'Pakistan is with you. This movement will continue vigorously until the release of our leader,"
In its 242nd meeting, the PBC stated that setting up a judicial commission was needed for an impartial investigation which does not have any external interference and stressed that it was important to find the truth.
"Sending threatening letters to judges was part of the government's conspiracy to intimidate and scare the judges so that they could not give decisions based on justice and law," the PTI spokesperson alleged, according to ARY News.
Investigators in the capital have traced these letters to the General Post Office in Rawalpindi, but due to the absence of CCTV cameras on the premises, the senders have yet to be identified.
CJP Isa's remark came during the hearing of SC's suo motu notice taken on the letter written by Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges that cites complaints of interference in judicial affairs by intelligence agencies.
