RAWALPINDI: Strongly criticising the much-hyped judiciary-centric constitutional package shrouded in mystery, jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan claimed on Monday that the ruling coalition is attempting to introduce amendments to the Constitution in a bid to keep him behind bars.
“New amendments would destroy the country’s future,” said Khan during an informal conversation with journalists at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. Taking aim at the rulers, he said: “They have decided to destroy the judiciary.”
When questioned about his opinion on a separate court for constitutional cases, the incarcerated former premier has a different point of view as he thought the “current rulers are afraid of the Supreme Court, therefore, they want to constitute a [separate] constitutional court”.
The cricketer-turned-politician further alleged that the federal government was involved in these practices “to hide election fraud”.
The main opposition party has been claiming for a while now that the general elections on February 8 were “rigged,” claiming that “manipulation in the results through Form-47” was how they won a significant electoral victory.
