If PTI Was Wrong, Government Was Too, Says Islamabad High Court

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has made significant observations in an ongoing case, stating that if the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) committed any wrongdoings, the government’s actions were also questionable. The court’s remarks came while hearing petitions related to political unrest and administrative measures taken during PTI-led protests.

The IHC emphasized the need for both sides to adhere to the law and avoid actions that undermine the democratic process. The court pointed out instances where the government’s response to PTI’s actions appeared excessive and potentially unlawful, urging accountability from both parties.

This statement highlights the judiciary’s balanced stance in the ongoing political conflicts, calling for responsibility and restraint from both the ruling party and the opposition. The IHC’s remarks have sparked discussions about the need for greater fairness and adherence to legal principles in resolving political disputes.
