Gohar reiterates call for Sept 27 'Justice March' for Imran's release at LHC lawyers' convention

Gohar also questioned the prolonged incarceration of Imran’s wife, Bushra Bibi, asking whether any housewife in Pakistan’s history had remained in jail for such a long period. He described the treatment being meted out to Imran and Bushra Bibi as “inhumane” and said such treatment had not been witnessed in any previous era.

“We only want justice and are standing for the protection of the people’s rights,” he said, urging supporters to join the September 27 peaceful march. He said the march would be held under the banner of “Justice March” and would seek an independent judiciary and an independent Election Commission.

He also called for unity, saying all stakeholders needed to come together for the country and that PTI believed Imran had neither made a deal nor would he do so. Earlier, Senator Hamid Khan was the country’s biggest leader and could not be discredited through false allegations.

He claimed that people across all four provinces stood with the PTI founder. Hamid further alleged that the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments had been introduced to control the Constitution and judiciary, saying people were no longer receiving justice from the courts.

He said lawyers had historically sacrificed for the Constitution and law, but their voice was now weaker, possibly because they had been divided. He maintained that the Bar and Bench had traditionally remained on the same page and that lawyers would have to unite to restore judicial independence.

Hamid further said that PTI leaders had not received justice in their cases and that even meetings with Imran Khan had become difficult.

He added that the party would also raise the issue in the National Assembly, maintaining that the solution to the country’s problems lay in Parliament rather than on television. He urged the authorities to respect dissent, warning that suppressing disagreement would create further problems.

He said PTI was seeking justice for Imran through constitutional and legal means and maintained that the cases against him were false. The lawyers’ convention was organised at the LHC in support of Imran’s release, with Barrister Gohar and other PTI leaders addressing the gathering.

A day earlier, Barrister Gohar said the party’s September 27 march would be peaceful as it solely aimed at seeking justice. He also invited all opposition parties to participate in the scheduled protest. Talking to the media at the.

Peshawar High Court on Wednesday, Gohar said there would be neither unrest nor use of government resources during the march. The PTI rules over Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) province. “The September 27 march will not be held merely for the sake of it.

It will remain peaceful,” he said. The PTI chief said his party expected JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the entire joint opposition to join them in the protest. Gohar said people wanted democratic change under which the rights of all citizens would be protected.

He called for fresh elections and proposed a “Sulah-e-Pakistan” treaty, modelled on Sulah-e-Hudaybiyyah, involving all stakeholders and ensuring everyone’s rights. Sulah-e-Hudaybiyyah or the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, was a compromise reached in 628 between Muslims and infidels of Makkah, who gave political and religious recognition to the growing community of Muslims in Madina.

Gohar said people had become tired of political tension and polarisation. Talking with reference to the ongoing debate on the creation of new provinces, he said provinces should not be created on an experimental basis and warned against haste in taking decisions that could harm the federation.

Citing the United States and India, he argued that population growth alone should not be used as a justification for creating new provinces. He strongly condemned Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s recent remarks regarding new provinces, saying the PTI’s core and political committees had discussed the issue and demanded that she withdraw her statement.

Gohar said national security and peace should take precedence over political and personal statements, adding that the reception given to K-P Chief Minister Sohail Afridi during his street movement in Sindh had encouraged the PTI.PTI’s rally strategy still in fluxPTI leaders questioned the lack of clarity surrounding the planned September 27 Islamabad march during a late-night joint core and political committee meeting of thePTI on late Tuesday, K-P Chief Minister Afridi, tasked with leading the party’s street movement, was once again conspicuously absent., more than three dozen PTI leaders and office-bearers attended the party’s joint core and political committee meeting, held online late Tuesday night.

One of the leaders said the plan was Afridi’s brainchild and had been announced by him, rather than PTI Chairman Gohar, so the answers to the questions raised could only come from the chief minister himself. PTI gears up for September 27The PTIannouncedthe September 27 Islamabad march to press for the release of Imran Khan.

The party had been preparing a central convoy from K-P, with caravans from other parts of the country expected to join before proceeding towards the federal capital. Under a preliminary strategy announced in August, the party planned to bring workers from across the country to K-P at least five days before the march.

The main convoy was expected to remain at the Punjab-K-P border for two to three days before moving towards Islamabad once other caravans had assembled. The PTI had also planned protests and shutdowns in several major cities, including Lahore, Karachi, Hyderabad and Quetta, as well as demonstrations along important national highways.

CM Afridi subsequentlyintensifiedthe mobilisation campaign during a visit to Karachi on Monday, calling on people in Sindh to join the September 27 protest. Addressing lawyers at a convention organised under the Sindh High Court Bar Association, Afridi urged supporters to come to Karachi rather than travel to Islamabad and called for the city to remain closed for a week.

He said people from across Pakistan would take to the streets on September 27 and described the planned protest as a movement against what he called an unjust political system. Afridi also criticised restrictions placed on his convoy as it travelled to Karachi, alleging that containers had been placed along its route and that PTI workers had been arrested.

The PTI’s August plan also included a funding and mobilisation structure for the protest. A committee headed by party Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja was tasked with overseeing finances, while lawmakers were directed to mobilise supporters in their constituencies.

The party had estimated that the first day of the march would cost around Rs450 million, with subsequent days expected to cost approximately Rs14.5 million each. It had also sought financial contributions from lawmakers and party figures to fund the campaign.
