Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been in jail for over a year, said that there is no point in negotiating with a government that lacks authority, The Nation reported.
Speaking to reporters, Omar Ayub's lawyer said that the PTI leader had arrived at the court premises to appear before the court. However, he could not appear before court due to law enforcers, which resulted in the rejection of his bail plea in the May 9 and 10 riots case.
Under the guise of employment overseas, the arrested individuals allegedly extorted substantial quantities of money from citizens. The arrests were made across numerous localities in Mundi Bahauddin and Rawalpindi.
In a statement released following the PTI core committee's meeting, the party emphasised the need for CJP Qazi Faez Isa to step aside from cases involving PTI and Imran Khan, citing concerns over potential bias and lack of impartiality.
A five-member SC larger bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, includes Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi is hearing the case.
He made these remarks while referring to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges' letter that surfaced in March alleging interference by intelligence agencies in judicial matters.
In his remarks, PTI Senator Zafar said that the current Shehbaz Sharif-led government can be overthrown at any time as the PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council's lawmakers will soon be in majority in the upper and lower house of the Parliament.
