ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Murad Saeed has penned a letter to Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial requesting him to take notice of bogus cases and life threats he has been facing for the last over a year.
He asked the nation’s top judge in a letter to pay attention to the “bogus cases, frivolous FIRs, and life threats” he has been receiving as well as the “complicity of the government of Pakistan, its instrumentalities, and officers” in the situation.
He insisted that he had grounds to worry about the security of the constitutionally given liberties he held dear.
He called into question the “constitutionality, validity, reasonability and legitimacy of the acts, omission and commissions of the federal government as well as the provincial governments and their functionaries, instrumentalities and officers” and appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of their actions.
Saeed expressed his concerns once more on the murder of journalist Arshad Sharif and added: “Unfortunately, his complaints and concerns were not addressed. Nobody took him or his concerns seriously, and as a result Pakistan lost a dedicated, patriotic, and nationalist citizen.
“These cases were made only because I raised my voice for the supremacy of the constitution and the establishment of peace in the country,” he maintained.
“Armed men dressed in plain clothes tried to attack my house, who escaped easily into the Red Zone on my arrival,” he said, adding that despite repeated efforts and court orders on this matter, the police did not file an FIR over the incident.
