Imran Khan seeks judicial probe into crackdown against his party

The petition accuses state authorities, in collaboration with "unknown persons," of targeting party members and violating fundamental rights.

The petition, filed by PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, requests the establishment of a judicial commission led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi, along with Justices Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Munib Akhtar. The commission would examine political and non-political interference in state institutions, identify breaches of constitutional oaths, and hold those responsible accountable.
