According to reports, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) intends to hold rallies nationwide on Wednesday in support of its decision to declare February 8, the one-year anniversary of the general elections, a black day.

According to media sources, PTI founder Imran Khan has instructed all party lawmakers—including MPAs and MNAs—to plan and take part in demonstrations in their local communities on February 8 in order to draw attention to their complaints and issues.

In a recent meeting with legal advisors on Wednesday, Imran Khan expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the party’s Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram. The meeting emphasized the importance of party discipline and gave stern directives to abstain from any criticism of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of the JUI-F.

It has also been suggested that the PTI engage opposition leaders in the demonstrations in order to win their support.

Party insiders revealed that the founder has urged leaders to ensure effective coordination and mobilised efforts in preparation for February 8.

Bushra Bibi, the wife of the PTI chairman, was granted temporary release by the Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in 13 counts pertaining to the November 26 D-Chowk protest. Judge Tahir Abbas Supra ordered the police to produce all pertinent documentation by February 7 and granted bail against surety bonds of Rs. 5,000 apiece.

Additionally, Bushra Bibi was given temporary release until February 7 in the Rangers’ accident case. During the hearing, Judge Tahir Abbas Supra expressed disappointment over the behavior of the defense counsel on two occasions. Addressing the lawyers, he remarked, “You demand VIP protocol everywhere, but this is not possible. Prepare your files properly before coming to court.”

Three cases at the Secretariat Police Station, two each at the Margalla, Karachi Company, and Ramna Police Stations, and one each at the Tarnol, Kohsar, Aabpara, and Khanna Police Stations are among the numerous charges against Bushra Bibi.

In addition, the judge chastised the defense team for requesting that Bushra Bibi sign and thumbprint blank documents. He said, “The accused must sign and thumbprint the court orders, not blank sheets.”

Bushra Bibi also went to the Islamabad High Court to have her biometrics verified in relation to her appeal to be exonerated in the Toshakhana-II case. On Monday, Bushra Bibi and the PTI chairman submitted their acquittal petitions. After finishing the biometric procedure, she departed right away.

Concerned about the way the government is managing the matter, Asad Qaiser, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has accused Maryam Nawaz and Khawaja Asif of trying to sabotage the ongoing negotiations.

In reaction to remarks made by Maryam Nawaz and Khawaja Asif, the former Speaker of the National Assembly stated that the administration is making contradictory assertions about the negotiations.

Maryam Nawaz and Khawaja Asif, he continued, seem to be trying to undermine the negotiations. Qaiser emphasized that despite the obstacles, PTI had worked to advance for Pakistan’s benefit.

He apologized for Maryam Nawaz’s and Khawaja Asif’s comments, saying that PTI had lowered its demands in order to assist the nation in progressing.

Qaiser asserted that the country as a whole supported PTI founder Imran Khan and that their efforts were all focused on bettering Pakistan’s circumstances.

In light of Pakistan’s present economic difficulties, Asad Qaiser emphasized that the PTI’s actions were motivated by a feeling of duty to the nation.

The party had just modified its demands to serve the nation, he made plain, and it was not frightened of anyone. Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI, had been promised a meeting with the government, but Qaiser claims that other excuses are now being offered.

He emphasized that PTI wanted the nation to be governed by the rule of law, with a strong parliament, an independent judiciary, and civilian supremacy. According to Qaiser, the party was dedicated to making sure that the people’s desire was followed when governing Pakistan.

Lastly, he noted that Imran Khan was becoming a prominent figure on a global scale in addition to being a leader in Pakistan. Even though incarceration was difficult for him, Imran Khan was making sacrifices for the future of the country.
