Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan on Wednesday challenged the Punjab Cabinet’s decision of action against him and other party leaders in Lahore High Court.
The Punjab cabinet earlier okayed undertaking legal action against incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan and other party leaders over “hateful rhetoric against state institutions”.
The petition was filed by PTI founder’s counsel Sardar Latif Khosa and the Punjab government and others have been made parties.
It is pertinent to mention here that the decision was taken during the provincial cabinet’s meeting, chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, stated a statement.
Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari cited an inquiry report submitted by home department and said PTI members were “spreading mischief inside and outside the Adiala jail”.
The provincial minister claimed that the Imran Khan-founded PTI was “spreading hate as part of organised propaganda against state institutions”, adding that it was decided to file a complaint according to the report submitted by the home ministry.
“To spread incitement in the country, to spread hatred against the institutions in the country, that is the total agenda of this party,” she said.
