Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has raised a fervent objection to a proposed constitutional amendment tailored to benefit the incumbent Chief Justice of Pakistan.
In a scathing response, the PTI spokesperson denounced the move, accusing the current government of orchestrating a scheme to reward Chief Justice Qazi Isa for his alleged biased handling of cases involving PTI.
According to the PTI Spokesperson, the amendment, which aims to alter the process of appointing judges to superior courts, is a blatant attempt by the government to manipulate the judiciary in favor of its own agenda.
They criticized Justice Qazi Isa for purportedly compromising the principles of justice and constitutional supremacy during his tenure as Chief Justice, thus undermining the integrity of his position.
The spokesperson emphasized that by succumbing to external pressures and interfering in judicial matters, Justice Qazi Isa has jeopardized the independence of the judiciary, paving the way for undemocratic forces to wield undue influence.
They asserted that the extension of his tenure is merely a bribe intended to reward his role in allegedly facilitating electoral malpractice and undermining democratic processes.
Furthermore, the PTI spokesperson highlighted the government’s track record of undermining state institutions and perpetuating a culture of corruption and abuse of power.

They called upon the public to reject the government’s efforts to subvert the democratic process and stand against any measures that threaten the integrity of Pakistan’s judicial system.
