‘Regime change conspiracy’: President Alvi demands judicial commission for investigation

President Dr Arif Alvi had demanded thorough investigation carried out by an "empowered judicial commission" into the alleged regime change conspiracy which PTI chairman Imran Khan claims was behind the ouster of his government.

It came in response to an April 30 letter the former prime minister had written to the president and Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial requesting a public inquiry as well as the formation of a judicial commission to probe a "threat letter" which the PTI chairman claimed was evidence of the "conspiracy" behind the no-confidence motion that saw him voted out of office.

According to a press release from the President's Secretariat, Alvi, in response to Imran, said that the circumstantial evidence in the matter should be recorded and investigated to "reach a logical conclusion and provide clarity to the people of Pakistan".
