Imran Khan suspends ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’ after Supreme Court ruling

Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, welcomed the Supreme Court’s (SC) decision in the election suo motu notice on Wednesday and declared the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” suspended.

He also stated that the party would continue its election campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab. “We applaud the SC ruling. After the Supreme Court ordered that elections be held in the provinces within 90 days, the former prime minister said, “It was the duty of SC to uphold the Constitution and they have gallantly done that through their judgement today. In a split decision today, the Supreme Court ordered the governor KP to make an announcement regarding Punjab elections while the president was asked to consult with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and set a date.

It is an assertion of the rule of law in Pakistan, according to Imran Khan, whose party was one of the petitioners in the election delay case. We are continuing our Jail Bharo election campaigns while suspending our Jail Bharo movement. Fawad Chaudhry, the leader of the PTI, had said earlier in the day that the verdict supported their position. “It’s a unanimous decision in fact,” Chauhdry said. “Justice Mansoor Ali Shah also stated that the Supreme Court shouldn’t have taken suo motu notice on it when the Lahore High Court had taken up the matter and ruled that the elections should be held in 90 days.” He thus concurs with our position. Additionally, the Constitution has won.
