LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan has asked lawyers to be united for thwarting attempts to divide judiciary. Addressing PTI workers and supporters via video link, Imran Khan appealed to legal fraternity to attend lawyers’ convention being organised by Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA). He alleged that attempts are being made to divide judiciary. Imran Khan warned government and Nneutrals that human rights violations can take ugly turn if they did not mend their ways.

I want to tell ‘neutral that free and fair elections are only way forward as their strategy of threatening public has badly failed and backfired, PTI chief said. Legal fraternity is not being allowed to function for implementation of rule of law in country, he added. I am trying my best to calm down my workers and supporters but it will not work for long, he added.

He said that time has arrived to choose right path. He added if government manhandled Barrister Hassaan Niazi then it could have happened to anyone else. Khan said that rulers are increasing hatred among people by threatening everyone who were resisting their wrongdoings. He reiterated that fair and free elections are only solution to end crisis in country. Imran Khan alleged that PTI social media activists are being abducted from their homes. He criticised that not single democratic country would choose path of torturing political rivals. He further alleged that relatives of political activists are being taken into custody when police officials fail to capture political workers. He said that social media users work independently and no one can control them. PTI Chief said that government has failed to get any relaxation from International Monetary Fund to get next tranche of loan. He said that new wave of inflation will hit nation if government manages to sign IMF agreement on tough conditions.
