  • ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’: Senior PTI leaders voluntarily surrender to police in Lahore

    [

    Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders including Asad Umar, Azam Swati, Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Omer Sarfraz Cheema on Wednesday voluntary surrendered themselves to the police as part of the ‘Jail Bharo campaign for Haqeeqi Azadi’, reported Aaj News.

    Speaking from inside a police van, Shah Mahmood said “police has arrested me. They have told me that I am under arrest and they asked me to sit in the prisoners’ van. I assumed I would be taken to Capital City Police office but I don’t know where the police is taking me.”

    On the other hand, police has decided to shift PTI leaders to jail.

    Earlier, PTI leaders had reached Lahore’s Charing Cross as the party commenced its campaign. Supporters have taken to the streets in Lahore and it was reported that 200 party workers and around five PTI legislators and leaders plan to voluntarily give their arrest to authorities outside the Punjab Assembly.

    PTI’s official Twitter account tweeted pictures and videos of party leaders converging at Lahore’s Charing Cross.

    In a series of tweets, PTI chairman Imran Khan had earlier said that the movement is a peaceful, nonviolent protest against the attack on the country’s constitutionally-guaranteed fundamental rights.

    “We are facing sham FIRs and NAB cases, custodial torture, attacks on journalists and social media people,” he tweeted.

    “It is against the economic meltdown brought on by cabal of crooks who have money laundered billions in looted wealth and gotten NROs for themselves while crushing the ppl, especially the poor and middle class, under the burden of spiraling inflation and rising unemployment.”

    In a video message, the chairman had urged people to take to the streets for “true freedom”.

    “This campaign will take you to a free and happy Pakistan. And this will only happen when the state protects your fundamental rights.”

    Earlier, the Punjab government imposed Section 144 on The Mall, Gulberg Main Boulevard as well as outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat and its adjoining roads to prohibit all kinds of assemblies, sit-ins and processions.

    On February 17, Imran Khan had announced to start the movement to protest against the violations of Constitution and press the coalition government to hold elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

    Among the PTI leaders, former Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema, Waleed Iqbal, former Punjab Education Minister Dr Murad Raas, Fawad Bullar and Muhammad Khan Madni are expected to give their arrests.

    However, if the authorities do not arrest the PTI activists, they will stage a sit-in.

    After Lahore, the movement will head to other major cities; as per the schedule, PTI activists will give arrests in Peshawar on February 23, in Rawalpindi on February 24, in Multan on February 25, in Gujranwala on February 26, in Sargodha on February 27, in Sahiwal on February 28 and in Faisalabad on February 29. After this, a new schedule will be given for the movement.

    While talking to the media outside the Imran’s residence, PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry said that the movement will commence on Wednesday and PTI political activists will give their arrests to the authorities at Faisal Chowk.

    “The movement was being launched to protest against violations of the fundamental rights, abuse of the Constitution, inflation and economic meltdown caused by the incumbent government,” he said.

    Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the PTI’s arrest drive was aimed at creating political instability and a law and order situation in the country. He said “miscreants” will be arrested except for “women and poor workers.”

  • SC rejects appeals seeking probe in cipher case | The Express Tribune

    [


    ISLAMABAD:

    The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday rejected all three appeals seeking an inquiry into the cipher associated with the alleged foreign conspiracy that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claims was behind Imran Khan\’s ouster from office.

    The petitions filed by Advocates Zulfiqar Bhatta, Syed Tariq Badr and Naeem ul Hassan were returned by the apex court\’s registrar with objections.

    Justice Qazi Faez Isa presided over the in-chamber hearing and remarked that \”if the government wants, it can make ciphers from all over the world public\”.

    He stated that \”if anyone else does this, he will be guilty of violating the Secret Act\”, adding that the judiciary cannot \”interfere in the affairs of the executive\”.

    “Is it the job of the court to deal with foreign affairs?” remarked Justice Isa and asked, “who was the prime minister when the cipher was received?”

    To this, Advocate GM Chaudhry told the court that “at that time Imran Khan was the prime minister”, adding that the PTI chief had also “waved the cipher” during a rally.

    Justice Isa then asked if Imran Khan as then-premier took any decision to investigate the matter as he had all the powers to conduct an investigation.

    “All the authorities are under the prime minister. What should the court do in the case of this cipher,” he furthered.

    The apex court judge also noted that he will have to read the cipher in order to conduct an inquiry.

    The petitioner’s counsel stated that the cipher\’s investigation is a matter of fundamental rights.

    However, Justice Isa said that there is no issue of fundamental rights in this case and questioned “what was the effect of the cipher on our daily lives?”

    He maintained that “it is the job of the Election Commission of Pakistan [ECP] to conduct an investigation\”.

    Previously, petitioner Naeem Ul Hassan through Azhar Siddique had filed a petition in the apex court, praying that \”a high-powered commission of inquiry should be constituted to hold inquisitorial proceedings with regard to the anti-state activities conducted by the respondent political parties through mala fide and abuse of power under the provisions of the Constitution and for committing sedition and treason against the democratically and legally elected government\”.

    The petitioner had said that Imran had taken various measures to restore normalcy in the affairs of the state but local political parties had been “aiding and assisting extremism in the country”.

    However, the registrar had returned the petition on the grounds that the petitioner had not pointed out what questions of public interest were involved with reference to fundamental rights.

  • Marriyum terms \’Jail Bharo\’ conspiracy against Pakistan | The Express Tribune

    [


    ISLAMABAD:

    Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Wednesday alleged that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s ‘Jail Bharo’ movement is a conspiracy against the country.

    Addressing a press conference, the minister said the underprivileged segments of society were suffering because of the former premier’s \’thefts and robberies\’.

    Marriyum maintained that Imran was evading cases before various institutions including high courts, district courts, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as he did not have any answers.

    “After several abandoned plans in the past nine months, he has hatched a new conspiracy in the form of the Jail Bharo movement,” she said, adding the movement should be called Jail Bacho (save from incarceration).

    Calling the movement a “drama”, she questioned why 200 innocent people were being arrested when Imran Khan was the one being summoned and PTI leaders were being asked about the cypher cnspiracy and Toshakhana (gift depository) case.

    “These are not political arrests, these are criminal arrests,\” she stated and reiterated that Imran needed to give answers.

    “Nawaz Sharif went to jail with his children. You [Imran] stay in your Zaman Park bunker with your children roaming in Britain,” she said and asked why others should go to jail while the \”criminal\” was sitting in his residence.

    She maintained that the Jail Bharo movement was not for the populace, but was rather a conspiracy against the country.

    Read Rana says \’miscreants\’ to be arrested as \’Jail Bharo\’ approaches

    “If you sympathized with the country why did you ruin foreign relations and hike petrol, LNG, sugar, and flour prices during your tenure,” she questioned.

    Marriyum furthered that Imran himself used to call PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi the “biggest dacoit of the country” but was now supporting him and praising him for becoming party leader.

    She stated that Imran alleged a foreign conspiracy after his ouster and now claims that there was no conspiracy.

    “He filled his pockets during his term and left. After the constitutional vote of no confidence against him, he forced ministers, the National Assembly speaker and the president to behave in an unconstitutional manner,” she added.

    The information minister continued that he asked his supporters to storm the Lahore High Court (LHC) when the court summoned him, thereby leading people astray and attacking the judiciary.

    “He will not stop,” she said.

    According to the minister, the ‘Jail Bharo’ “drama” should begin with Imran’s arrest after he “robbed and harmed the country” but had no answers for anything.

    “That is why he is starting this movement,” she added.

    Marriyum maintained that the “performance” needed to be shut down.

    Imran Khan on Wednesday officially announced the beginning of the party\’s Jail Bharo Tehreek – a drive to court arrests in an effort to register its protest against the \”attack\” on fundamental rights and the economic \”meltdown\” brought on by the incumbent government.

    Taking to Twitter, the former premier elaborated upon two reasons behind the protest movement: \”One, it is a peaceful, non-violent protest against the attack on our constitutionally-guaranteed fundamental rights […] Two, it is against the economic meltdown brought on by cabal of crooks who have money laundered billions in looted wealth and gotten NROs for themselves while crushing the people, especially the poor and middle class, under the burden of spiralling inflation and rising unemployment.\”

    “He filled his pockets during his term and left. After the constitutional vote of no confidence against him, he forced ministers, the National Assembly speaker and the president to behave in an unconstitutional manner,” she added.

    The information minister continued that he asked his supporters to storm the Lahore High Court (LHC) when the court summoned him, thereby leading people astray and attacking the judiciary.

    “He will not stop,” she said.

    According to the minister, the ‘Jail Bharo’ “drama” should begin with Imran’s arrest after he “robbed and harmed the country” but had no answers for anything.

    “That is why he is starting this movement,” she added.

    Marriyum maintained that the “performance” needed to be shut down.

    Imran Khan on Wednesday officially announced the beginning of the party\’s Jail Bharo Tehreek – a drive to court arrests in an effort to register its protest against the \”attack\” on fundamental rights and the economic \”meltdown\” brought on by the incumbent government.

    Taking to Twitter, the former premier elaborated upon two reasons behind the protest movement: \”One, it is a peaceful, non-violent protest against the attack on our constitutionally-guaranteed fundamental rights […] Two, it is against the economic meltdown brought on by cabal of crooks who have money laundered billions in looted wealth and gotten NROs for themselves while crushing the people, especially the poor and middle class, under the burden of spiralling inflation and rising unemployment.\”
