Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has written a letter to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi, urging him to take notice of alleged violations of the Constitution and fundamental rights.
As per details, the letter, delivered to the CJP’s chamber by PTI leader Salman Akram Raja, was addressed to both Chief Justice Yahya Afridi and the Acting Chief Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.
Speaking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court, the PTI founder’s sister, Aleema Khan, said that she has been denied access to her brother for the past five months. She stated that the purpose of seeking a meeting with the CJP was to restore the sanctity of the judiciary. “There was a time when even a magistrate could jail someone for contempt of court,” she added.
