With just two days left for Pakistan’s 10th general elections, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is yet again trying to reclaim its electoral symbol ‘bat’, as it has filed a plea with the Supreme Court to review the verdict ordering its withdrawal.

The party has also moved the apex court on Tuesday seeking a review of the decision about PTI’s intra-party polls.

PTI has requested the apex court to review its January 13 decision wherein the top court upheld the Election Commission of Pakistan’s verdict declaring PTI’s intra-party polls “unconstitutional,” depriving the party of its iconic electoral symbol.

The plea by PTI requested the SC to review its verdict and restore the decision of the Peshawar High Court, which termed the ECP’s decision “invalid” on January 10. Meanwhile, Bushra Bibi, wife of Imran Khan, has challenged the authorities’ move to imprison her at Bani Gala residence to serve a 14-year sentence in the Toshakhana case. Last month, Bushra Bibi was imprisoned at her Islamabad residence after accountability court sentenced the couple to 14 years in jail in the Toshakhana case. Authorities had declared the Bani Gala residence a “sub-jail” to confine the former first lady at the request of Adiala jail superintendent. In the petition, Bushra said just like other political workers of the party, she is ready and willing to serve her sentence in the “Ordinary Jail premises at Adiala Jail rather than the declared sub-jail at her residence”.
