    ‘Constitutional amendments will destroy Pakistan’s future,’ warns Imran Khan

    Former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has said that new constitutional amendments will jeopardise the country’s future.

    Talking to journalists in Adiala Jail Rawalpindi, founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said that the formation of a new Federal Constitutional Court is originates from the incumbent government’s fear of the Supreme Court (SC).

    He also claimed that the purpose of constitutional amendments is to keep him in jail.

    “Sitting members in government don’t want to perceive the judiciary as independent,” he added.

    He also alleged that the money and properties of those proposing the amendments are abroad.

    Criticising the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, he said, “The incumbent government wanted to destroy judiciary by reinstating CJP Isa.”

    Khan also said that he had predicted that PTI rally in Lahore on September 21 would be peaceful and historical.

    August 22 rally could have turned into another May 9, Imran Khan hints at conspiracy

    Founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan spoke to journalists at the Adiala jail courtroom about postponing the August 22 rally, saying that after learning of the religious parties’ strike at Islamabad, he rescheduled the rally.

    “I was given information that religious parties are on strike over the matter of Khatam-e-Nabuwat, so there was fear of chaos, upon which I advised the Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan and Azam Swati to cancel the scheduled rally.”

    He added, “I would never want chaos in the country.”

    “The whole party is in rage and grief over the postponement of the rally”, Imran Khan said.

    “If the rally took place, there were concerns that another May 9 case would be imposed on the party, even though a former judicial inquiry has not been completed,” Khan concluded.
