Imran Khan's message to the nation from jail.
Chairman Imran Khan's lawyer, Intizar Hussain Panjutha, gave Imran Khan's message to the nation, "Without the rule of law, the situation in this country cannot improve. Only with the rule of law, a stable Pakistan is possible. But at this time, the biggest injustice in history is being done by targeting the largest political party and trying to eliminate it. It is like killing democracy and is an insult to the people. Now the test of the Supreme Court is whether it can protect its people and democracy or not".
110 days have passed since the illegal imprisonment of Imran Khan.
Imran Khan has been suffering from judicial injustice for 110 days continuously. The same was demonstrated in the cipher case, where the illegal jail trial was conducted.

Despite asking the same questions in the Al-Qadir Trust case, the investigation team was permitted to investigate again.

Today, we placed the reply by Mashriq Bank and the NCA documents before the court. We asked the question to NAB that if the money came to the Supreme Court from a private account and the government or NAB was not the plaintiff in the action taken in Britain, then how did this money go to the government? No response was given by NAB".
The sign of "bat" was given, but the intra-party election was declared null and void.
The Election Commission declared the Tehreek e Insaf intra-party elections null and void and ordered to conduct intra-party elections again in the next twenty days. At the same time, Tehreek-e-Insaf also handed over the election symbol of a "bat" for the general election.
Barrister Gohar said while reacting to the Election Commission's decision, "Bat was and will be the symbol of Tehreek-e-Insaf. The order of the Election Commission is very disappointing. PTI conducted the elections according to the constitution. The Election Commission delayed the decision on purpose".
