LAHORE: On Monday, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf filed petitions in the Supreme Court’s (SC) Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and Quetta registries, demanding the registration of a FIR of the Wazirabad gun attack as demanded by party Chairman Imran Khan and contesting the Punjab police’s decision to withhold the names of the individuals the PTI Chairman had named in the FIR.
In addition, the senator Azam Swati video and the Kenyan murder of journalist Arshad Sharif are two other issues that the PTI petitions ask the top court to get involved in.Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Usman Buzdar, and other legislators filed the petition before the Supreme Court’s Lahore registry.
Buzdar delivered the petition to SC Ijaz Goraya, the deputy registrar.According to the petition, the PTI has asked for the creation of a judicial committee. It urged the court to take suo motu notice of these issues and act.
26 PTI legislators submitted two applications to the SC’s Karachi registry.The PTI called for inquiries into the shooting of Imran Khan, the video of Swati that was released, and the death of Arshad Sharif in its petitions.
