Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Spokesperson vehemently rejected the contents of the political press conference by the representatives of Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) and Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), which was part of the same scheme under which the door of free and fair elections have been closed by the court upon 12.5 million voters of the country.
Strongly reacting to the press conference of PBC and SCBA’s representatives, PTI Spokesperson completely rejected the contents of the press conference and said that the decision of the top court stripping PTI of its electoral symbol “bat” was absolutely flawed and offensive, which opened the door of a very dangerous distortion in the constitutional and democratic scheme of the country.
PTI Spokesperson made it clear that the decision to snatch the electoral symbol “bat” was made long ago in closed rooms, however an attempt was made to hold the judiciary responsible in the eyes of the nation by putting the court stamp on the verdict. He pointed out that out of the total 175 political parties in the country, PTI conducted the best, most effective and transparent intra-party election in the country.
PTI Spokesperson recalled that PTI conducted two intra-party elections on June 8, 2022 and December 2, 2023 respectively, on which the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) could not raise any reasonable and legal objections except some futile technical objections. He made it clear that PTI held the election in the presence of the media in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
