Islamabad [Pakistan], the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf () has asked Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa to refrain from involvement in cases related to the political party, Pakistan-based Dawn reported.
Additionally, founder Imran Khan has said that he was contemplating going on a hunger strike if he continued to be denied justice.
Speaking to reporters after attending court proceedings in the £190 million corruption case on Friday, Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan said the decision on the cases should be made on the basis of "like or disgust", since all citizens are equal before the law.
He claimed that all other cases involved were disposed of before the CJP Isa despite his counsel's objection to the CJP's presence on the stand. The founder said his legal team wanted those cases transferred out of Courtroom 1, according to Dawn's report.
Imran Khan reiterated the allegation that Adiala jail was being run by some colonel or major and added that the jail superintendent was working "under him" who did not allow him to meet the leaders.
Some leaders had gone to jail to meet Imran Khan over internal party disputes. However, the jailer, allegedly following the instructions of that military officer, did not allow them to meet Imran Khan for at least three hours, Dawn reported.
Imran Khan said that he was considering the decision to go on a hunger strike and that he would do so if justice was denied. Speaking to reporters, Khan said he would advise his party leaders not to make internal differences public as they would divert attention from the real cause. The founder further said that the recent budget had already buried the politics of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N).
Meanwhile, Central Information Secretary Raoof Hasan demanded that the Chief Justice of Pakistan recuse himself from all related cases as they had reservations about him, the report said.
Speaking on the occasion, lawyer Shoaib Shaheen said that the party wanted decisions to be taken based on law and the Constitution. He further said that the CJP should not remain in the dock as the party and its leader had expressed reservations about the CJP.
Leader Shaukat Basra said all 180 members of the National Assembly and members of the Provincial Assembly from across the country would appear before the court to express their reservations. Khan (71), who was Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2018 to 2022, has been imprisoned in Adiala Jail since August 2023 on multiple charges.
