    Imran Khan urges masses to attend Minar-e-Pakistan power show despite hurdles

    Canada Global (Web News) To prevent tonight’s public gathering of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at Minar-e-Pakistan, the relevant authorities have closed a number of routes, including entry and departure points, in the capital of Punjab (Saturday).

    Elections in Punjab have been postponed owing to financial and security concerns, but the political show goes on nonetheless because the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has given its permission to postpone elections.

    Parking trucks with shipping containers have blocked all access roads to the Minar-e-Pakistan, and the two main entry and exit points, the Ravi Bridge and Thokar Niaz Baig, have been made impassible to vehicles. For commuters who left earlier in the day for their jobs and places of employment, the steps to stop the political gathering created obstacles.

    Containers have been positioned at several locations, including the railway station, Bansawala Bazaar, and Shah Alam Market.

    Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI and a former prime minister, is upbeat about his successful power show despite the traffic limitations. He predicted on Twitter that the PTI’s sixth gathering, which would take place tonight at Minar-i-Pakistan, “will break all records.”

    Regime lacked human rights and that the then-opposition leader and the relatives of political opponents were imprisoned.

    Mr. Sanaullah, individuals who discuss the country’s violations of fundamental rights attacked the police.

    In response to the letter the president had sent to the prime minister, he suggested that the president write a letter to Imran Khan asking him to demonstrate his sincerity in the Toshakhana and foreign funding issues.

    Pervaiz Elahi sees PML-N accepting defeat by postponing Punjab Assembly elections

    Canada Global (Web News) Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, a former chief minister of Punjab, stated on Friday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was “postponing” the Punjab Assembly elections as a sign of acceptance of its defeat.

    Ishtiaq Ahmad Khan, the president of the Lahore High Court Bar, and Rana Intizar Hussain, the president of the Lahore Bar, visited Mr. Elahi. Discussions were held on this occasion regarding the constitutional issues connected to the postponement of the Punjab Assembly elections.

    Mr. Elahi criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), alleging that the ECP had overstepped its constitutional authority and that the ECP’s role was to oversee the conduct of elections.

    Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, a former chief minister of Punjab, stated on Wednesday that the government’s discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were unimportant.

    At his meeting with PTI veterans Raja Basharat and Mehmoodur Rasheed, Mr. Elahi was voicing his opinions. The current government, he claimed, had “stopped the voyage of progress, which was initiated during the time of former prime minister Imran Khan.”

    Due to the bad actions of its incompetent leaders, the nation was experiencing ramifications on a worldwide scale. The ruling class, despite their promises to help the nation’s economy, has done nothing, he said.

  • Imran Khan granted relief in judge threat case

    Imran Khan granted relief in judge threat case

    Canada Global (Web News) A district and sessions court changed Imran Khan’s arrest warrant from being non-bailable to being bailable on Friday in relation to allegations that he threatened a female magistrate while speaking to a crowd of people last year.

    Further Sessions The judgement was delivered by Judge Faizan Haider Gilani after being reserved earlier in the day. Judge rejected the PTI’s petition for an extension and suspension of the arrest warrant.

    Before the judge reserved his or her decision, the special prosecutor Rizwan Abbasi and the former prime minister’s attorney Gohar Ali had presented their cases.

    Mr. Ali requested an extension and suspension of the arrest warrants until his client’s appearance in the Toshakhana case before a court in Islamabad on March 30. The PTI attorney declared he will submit a request to modify the dates of the arrest warrants. The date for arrest warrants is March 29, therefore it’s odd that you’re asking for March 30, the court observed.

    Arguments should be made on a petition asking for the arrest warrants to be suspended, the prosecutor said. The prosecutor said that Mr. Khan never showed up for the hearing on the threat case when the judge questioned whether he had ever appeared in court. He said that the PTI chairman’s power of attorney had not even been presented on his behalf.

    The judge reserved his decision following the hearing and is expected to make it public soon.

  • Marriyum supports ECP’s decision for postponing elections

    Marriyum supports ECP’s decision for postponing elections

    Canada Global (Web News) The decision of the Electoral Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to postpone the election is in the best interests of the nation, according to Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, taking into consideration the economic, political, and security scenario.

    On Thursday, the minister released a statement regarding the ECP’s choice to delay the Punjab elections scheduled for April 30 to October 8.

    According to Marriyum, the ECP is required under Article 218 of the Constitution to ensure free, impartial, and transparent elections. When elections are taking place, caretaker setups are mandated under Article 224 in both the centre and the provinces. She predicted that two provinces would have functioning governments by the time the National Assembly elections were held.

    In that case, she asserted, elections held in two provinces would be contentious. She added that the move will ensure political stability in the nation and that the ECP had consulted all relevant parties before deciding to postpone elections.

    She believes that the ECP has prevented the nation from experiencing a constitutional crisis.

    According to Marriyum Aurangzeb, the nation was conducting a population census. Elections cannot be held before the census is complete, she continued.

    She asserted that two provinces cannot be forced to have elections at the whim of a single guy. She came to the conclusion that the will of one man could not dominate the constitution.

  • PTI to approach Supreme Court against ECP for postponing election in Punjab

    PTI to approach Supreme Court against ECP for postponing election in Punjab

    Canada Global (Web News) Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) declared on Thursday that the party would appeal the Punjab election’s postponement decision to the Supreme Court (SC).

    The decision was made after the SC ordered the electoral watchdog to hold polls in Punjab and KP within 90 days following the dissolution of provincial assemblies. The election was originally set for April 30 but was postponed by the ECP until October 8. Punjab and KP assemblies were dissolved on Jan 14 and Jan 18 respectively.

    Asad Umar, the leader of the PTI, mockingly claimed that it was merely coincidental that the ECP announced the postponement hours after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah had stated his desire to hold elections immediately in the nation during a joint parliamentary session on Wednesday. He continued, “The decision is unlawful, and we will challenge it.

    He added that the PTI had already filed a contempt petition against KP governor Haji Ghulam Ali and that the party’s attorney, Ali Zafar, had been working on the petition. “The PTI will host a large gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan where it would also express solidarity with the SC for preserving the constitution”, he added.

    He continued saying that the party had scaled up preparation for the rally adding that the PTI senators will present their viewpoint completely at a joint session of the senate slated to be convened on Monday. “The party will also seek in the petition that the polls in Punjab be held on April 30,” he continued.

    Fawad Chaudhry claimed that Pakistan Day was a violation of the constitution and mentioned that 96 bar organisations had protested the ECP’s decision. The PML-N has a history of criticising the judiciary, he said, and the SC was assaulted during the joint parliamentary session on Wednesday.

    He pointed out that former chief minister of Punjab Hamza Shehbaz received bail on Sunday without showing up in court and added that law minister Azam Nazir Tarar was a lawyer of the devil. He continued, “Before, Mr. Tarar was a man [of good character].

    After the Taraweeh prayers on Saturday night, he stated that the PTI rally will begin and last until sehri on Sunday. He continued, “We applaud the government’s choice to establish a JIT and we anticipate that JIT will operate independently.

    Stating that elections in Punjab were expected to take place on April 30 and that both the populace and the SC needed to protect the constitution. The SC must defend the constitution above all things, he continued, and I am aware that judges are being threatened and blackmailed, he added.

Azhar Siddique, Mr. Khan’s solicitor, claimed there were 43 complaints in Islamabad and 84 in Punjab against the former prime minister, up from 56 and 33, respectively, the day before.

    In a matter of hours, Mr. Chaudhry claimed, lawsuits were being filed against Mr. Khan.

    The court denied the NAB lawyer’s request for more time to write his response to the case while asking him to produce the report as soon as possible.

    The NAB counsel claimed that he should be given a copy of the petition so he can submit the reply after the court noted that he was only supposed to present the list of cases filed against Mr. Khan.

    Mr. Siddique stated that he had written to the NAB on February 17 requesting the list of cases, and that it was his right to be aware of the total number of cases brought against Mr. Khan.

    The civilised country will attend the assembly.

    I was charged with contempt of court today because I was unable to attend before the Islamabad High Court (IHC). I want to implore the Chief Justice to act decisively. No prime minister of the nation has ever seen such unfairness, according to Mr. Khan.

    They attacked Zaman Park as if a terrorist lived there, he complained. Crackdowns are imposed on our employees. Never seen such a repression, not even under dictatorships.

    Even throughout the administration of former President Pervez Musharraf, there was never such crackdown in the nation.

    Mr. Khan made fun of his political rivals by asserting that “Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari are international criminals”. He continued, “Maybe they would conduct the operation today at any time, as they have a plan to conduct the operation in Zaman Park. There was a plot to kill me like Murtaza Bhutto. I strongly advise the personnel to maintain their composure.

    Mr. Khan expressed his concerns about the “delay in polls” and added, “The rulers will try to knock the PTI out of the race of elections since they fear that by holding the elections, politics will come to an end.
