The Supreme Court rejected a verbal plea from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership to take suo motu notice of the deaths of innocent PTI workers during the peaceful protest in Islamabad.
As per detail, on Wednesday morning, PTI appealed to its official X account to the Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi to take suo motu action against the prime minister, interior minister, and Islamabad and Punjab police chiefs in the alleged, “brutal murder of martyred party workers.
In response to the appeal, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) additional advocate general (AAG) said during a hearing of a case related to the climate change authority, “Yesterday, there were deaths on both sides, the constitutional bench should take suo motu notice [on the issue],”
