ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has announced that party chief Imran Khan will appear in person before the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday after being summoned for remarks against the court.
Imran, who was issued a notice on Thursday, will appear before a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Friday, and will be accompanied by lawyer Hamid Khan and senior party leaders of party. The court has also directed Attorney General Muneer Malik to assist in the matter.
Earlier on Wednesday, the court had issued a contempt of court notice to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan for his remarks against the court at a press conference.
“Prima facie, it seems that Imran Khan has started a deliberate campaign to scandalise the court and bring judges into hatred, ridicule or contempt,” said an order dictated by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chadhry.
Speaking on an Express News program Kal Tak, Imran khan said that he will not back down from his words regarding ECP’s and SC’s role in rigging the May 11 general elections.
He said that no matter what happened at the court hearing tomorrow, he will not apologise for what he had said earlier, even if he had to go to jail or was barred from contesting future elections.
