Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan wrote to Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Thursday, seeking affirmative action against the political victimization of his party, and abductions, and disappearances of its workers.
In a seven-page document, Imran emphasized the need to assert Article 184(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan, which safeguards the ‘right to liberty, to associate, assemble, and speak’ on account of their political affiliation.
The PTI chief urged in his letter that a commission be established to further investigate the disappearances of PTI journalists and political workers.
“These disappearances or abductions, quite apart from the arbitrary arrests, have spread fear through society and are a grotesque affront to the claim that Pakistan is a country ruled by a constitution and a set of laws,” the letter noted.
“Today, the power to prosecute and arrest is being used in a blatant attempt to engineer and skew the political landscape of the country,” Imran wrote.
