No option but street protests for Imran’s release: Saif

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government spokesperson Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif has strongly criticized the current federal government, alleging it was obstructing justice for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
Speaking to the media, Mr Saif said, “If the country’s most popular leader is being denied justice, how can an ordinary citizen expect to receive it?”
He accused the incumbent government of crossing all limits in its alleged campaign of political victimization against Imran Khan, claiming such actions have only increased Khan’s public support.
Saif furthered that the people had no choice left but to protest for the release of their leader.
“It has become inevitable for the public to come out onto the streets. The repeated absence of judges and the delay in court proceedings clearly indicate that the cases against Imran Khan were fabricated and politically motivated,” he asserted.
He claimed that the absence of judges and lawyers appears to be a deliberate attempt to prolong the legal process.
According to him, had there been any merit to the cases, they would have been concluded by now.
KP government spokesperson said the 26th Constitutional Amendment has effectively paralyzed the judicial system.
He argued that if the courts fail to deliver justice, then peaceful protest is a constitutional and democratic right of the people.
He also criticized the government’s alleged use of force, stating, “The fear among the people has dissipated. They are fully prepared to take to the streets again. This time, the government will be unable to suppress the protest movement.”
