Islamabad: Legal team of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf demanded resignation of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa and Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court Aamer Farooq, stating that judges’ letter has proven that justice system has become paralysed.

Demand comes amid controversy whipped up by letter penned by six IHC judges to Supreme Judicial Council (SJC).

Addressing press conference here, PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan, along with other members of party’s legal team emphasised significance of letter from six judges He highlighted that two days have passed since writing of letters but no action has been taken yet by IHC Chief Justice.

“Most crucial role in cases against Imran Khan is that of Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court and he was also mentioned in letter,” he added.

“We will not allow mockery of justice. Cameras installed in people’s bedrooms are murder of justice and law. Does nominated accused have right to become judge in his own case? Will Prime Minister himself decide if he is guilty or not? We will not let this joke go on.

There are 100 more judges, we want them to also speak out. What pressure was exerted on them?” Hassan questioned. Naeem Haider Panjutha said that 26-hour “Operation” was conducted at Imran Khan’s house but Justice Aamer remained silent.

“On March 28, PTI workers were attacked in Judicial Complex and instead of registering case against attackers, FIRs were lodged against PTI workers,” he added. Niazullah Niazi commented, “This letter has proven that system is paralysed.

After Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, Chief Justice Fiaz Isa received letter, but was any action taken? Constitution of Pakistan is currently paralysed, this is question for whole nation. Niazi stated, “Time for press conferences is over, we will start movement across Pakistan. We will also knock on doors of Supreme Court and high court. “
