    Speaking to journalists at the Presidency, Tarar said, “The prosecution of May 9 cases is being done by the Punjab government and the provincial government will decide to refer the case to a military court.”

    Responding to a journalist’s question regarding the constitutional amendment in parliament, he said that no amendment is under consideration. “Media should avoid speculations and show responsibility.”

    He hinted that the upcoming joint sitting would consider a dozen bills that had been approved by the House of Parliament but not passed by the Senate.

    Commenting on Chief Justice Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa’s retirement, he said, “It is not for me to decide whether the term of chief justice will be extended or not.”

    Imran Khan alleges judges conveyed feeling of helplessness to him

    During an interaction with journalists in Adiala Jail today, former Prime Minister Imran Khan lauded the Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges for exposing alleged interference in judicial matters and claiming judges would send him “messages of helplessness” in his cases.

    Khan’s statement came after the Supreme Court of Pakistan took a Suo Moto notice of the IHC Judges’ letter to the Supreme Judicial Council urging the body to probe the serious matter.

    A one-member inquiry commission was made by the federal cabinet however ex-CJP Tassaduq Hussain Jillani refused to head the said commission after he was chosen to lead it.

    Khan remarked, “I salute the judges for raising their voice and hope they will save the country.” He reiterated that everyone knew about the “regime change operation” in 2022 when he was ousted from the government through a no-confidence motion.

    The PTI founder gave his views about the Suo Moto notice by the SC and said, “It is a serious matter and should be heard by full court.” However, he remarked that a seven-member bench is better than the commission.
