Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has rejected the formation of a Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which it believes has been established to address criticism of the judiciary. The party has described the goals of the JIT as “very vague” and has criticized the initiative, suggesting that it is an attempt to curb the smear campaign against judges. PTI has further stated that if the JIT is genuinely focused on addressing the criticism, it should take action against individuals such as Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, and Aimal Wali Khan, rather than harassing the citizens of the country. The party has emphasized the importance of upholding the constitutional rights of citizens, including the right to freely express their opinions and engage in criticism and analysis.
PTI has also expressed concerns about the alleged censorship and curbs on media and social media during the past 22 months and has accused the caretaker government of undermining fundamental and constitutional rights. The party has criticized the formation of the JIT as an attempt to protect judicial decisions from public scrutiny and has raised questions about the motives behind the initiative. PTI has vowed to continue demanding the protection of constitutional rights and has called for a focus on upholding the supremacy of the Constitution. The party’s rejection of the JIT and its emphasis on safeguarding constitutional rights reflect its commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability within the judicial system.
