ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said that today’s Supreme Court order in the Army chief’s extension case was a ‘great disappointment’ for mafias within and external enemies.
In a tweet after the SC order, the prime minister hit back at his rivals, who he said were waiting for clash of institutions.
For the record, 23 yrs ago we were the first Party to advocate an independent Judiciary and Rule of Law. In 2007, PTI was in the forefront of the Movement for Independence of the Judiciary & I was jailed for it.
