Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Thursday moved a constitutional petition in the Supreme Court, alleging violations of fundamental rights. The federal government, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, and Cabinet Division have been named as respondents, along with all four provincial governments. As per details, Imran Khan moved a plea with the SC constitutional bench, requesting a judicial inquiry into actions ‘taken against the party.’ The petition seeks an investigation by a panel of three senior Supreme Court judges into measures that allegedly target PTI.

The petitioner has requested court orders to uphold basic rights and prevent the alleged misuse of Section 144, which restricts public gatherings. Additionally, the plea calls for the cessation of arrests under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) and asks for directives to ensure issuance of NOCs (No Objection Certificates) for public rallies.
