An anti-terrorism court (ATC) has issued warrants for 12 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, in cases related to the May 9 events. PTI Chairman Gohar Khan has labeled these cases as “fake” and stated the party’s intention to challenge the decision.
Details:
- ATC judge Malik Ijaz issued warrants for 12 PTI leaders, including Ali Amin Gandapur, in cases connected to the May 9 events.
- The court ordered officials to present two suspects before it on April 2 during the hearing on Tuesday.
- Among the 12 leaders are Shahbaz Gill, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, Murad Saeed, Shabbir Awan, Shireen Mazari, and Shibli Faraz.
- One of the cases against these leaders is registered at the City Police Station, with warrants issued based on the application of SHO Aftab Ahmed.
- PTI Chairman Gohar Khan reacted to the warrants, stating the party’s right to challenge the decision and denouncing the cases as “fake”.
- Khan criticized the federal government, accusing them of “losing its senses” and resorting to retaliatory action, alleging the incumbent rulers had seized power by stealing the people’s mandate.
The warrants come amidst heightened political tensions, with the PTI leadership contesting the legitimacy of these legal actions and vowing to challenge them in court.
